Although it’s been pretty hot lately, summer is coming to a close. The lawn cutting is slowing down. Instead of having to cut each lawn once a week, its been averaging 10-12 days between cuts. For me, this means finding another form of exercise.

My husband will be leaving on the 18th of September to start building a garage at our new home in Tennessee. I just can’t seem to get rid of anything so he is building a 24 by 36 garage. I’m going to try and do the lawn business while he is gone. He still has to teach me how to hook up the trailer to my car and how to run the weed eater. This is going to be interesting.

I’ve only used the riding lawn mower twice. I may be cutting all the lawns with the push mower. I’m just so nervous when I use that rider. I don’t drive very fast and figure I can run the push mower faster that I drive. I’m just going to have to see how my knees hold out.

Of course I realize doing it all with the push mower will increase my exercise, I’m not sure I’ll have enough time to keep up with all the lawns. I’m just glad the lawn growth has slowed down.

The knee I fell on a couple of weeks ago is still swollen and feels rather numb to the touch. I guess that is better than hurting. I know it’s going to take a while for it to heal as I hit the concrete so hard on it. I’m being patient.

I was listening to the news tonight and it said obesity is still on the rise. The reporter said the most obese people are in the state of Mississippi. With that message being posted, I imagine there will be all kinds of weight loss programs popping up all over that state.
