I'm Debating...

I am looking at the temperature right now as I write this, and it says 73 degrees Fahrenheit, and it's only supposed to get up to 79 today with lower humidity than we've been experiencing. I even stepped out to snap a picture of the yard and it feels "cool" out. My grass has gotten away from me as it's just been too hot to cut it, even though I use a rider to do it. My yard being kept up is important to me, but everyone has their limits. So, I'm debating just getting out there and giving the lawn a cut. It's a small window of opportunity and I need to just jump at it. And I might just do it. Because by the weekend it's supposed to return to blistering heat again, and I probably won't want to do it then. The picture doesn't probably do the grass any justice. It's longer in person than it looks here. I really need to get at it.

If you have the time and feel like the grass needs to be cut, then cut it.

I did. Earlier. In fact, shortly after I wrote this post. lol. But only the back. I had other errands to run. I could still cut the front, but it looks like rain and it's supposed to be another cool day tomorrow.

@DaddyEvil It's supposed to be an awesome day. Cool and sunny. I will get a lot done today, or, at least that's the plan.

I'm glad that I no longer have a lawn to deal with. Currently it's 65 degrees F here (7/31/25).

We're showing 79 as I write this now. But I did get the back done. I'll take care of the front tomorrow I think.

Stike while the iron is hot (as the saying goes). You'll be happy when it's done even if you don't feel like doing it

Yep. I got it done. At least the back. I had some errands to run otherwise I'd have done the front too. Maybe I can still do it tonight or just wait until tomorrow. It's supposed to be cool then too.

@porwest You're very welcome. If I win the lottery, I'm redoing my deck. It needs it.

Why thank you. And that's only half of it. We really enjoy sitting out there when it's not 9 million degrees. lol

@LindaOHio I joked once that if I ever won the lottery, I'd tear down the house and start over. lol

Today and tomorrow are cool with a cold front having come into town. But by the weekend we will be balls hot again. It's a small window. But I did get the back cut. Now I just have to do the front. I'd have done both, but I had errands to run.

then why are you telling us about it? just get it done & then you can spend all the time you want writing about it. I got you beat man, I've done emptied out the 75 gal tank got it put up for awhile, got the 100 gal stock tank cleaned & set up with a bog filter going on it & the fish in it, in a matter of 3 days & your talking about getting in the heat.
