I mowed fourteen thousand steps worth.
If I keep the grass short on Summer's front acre we are more fire safe, she picks up fewer ticks and my husband is less likely to fall when he can see the contours of the ground more clearly. For all of those reasons I push an old gas powered mower. The good news is that I've decided to start a battery powered mower savings stash again. Last time I ended up doing something else important with my mower fund but this time it's past time to modernize. I expect I will treat myself to an upgrade for my birthday in September.
In between mowing and other chores I finished my daughter's favorite lemon blueberry scones.
They smell so good. The big problem is that there are eight scones and only seven fit in the travel container.
I asked Summer what to do?
She thinks we should drop the orphan scone off to a friend who lives alone because there is only one scone and three of us.
She is a genius.

@NorcalGma2 I have absolutely been loving my battery powered mower, and yesterday, I just picked up the companion chainsaw. Just came in from trying it and the feeling is love at first use.

I think we're on the same battery system, so if you want to try out my mower before making a decision, let me know and I'll bring it over for a test drive.

Also have my old gas mower up on Craigslist if you know of anyone who needs a gas mower.

The Stihl mower we bought has two battery slots and I can do our whole yard off one battery with some to spare.

I'm so loving both that I'm secretly hoping that the string trimmer and hedge trimmer both die like the chain saw did to give me the excuse to upgrade.

I have the chain saw and two of the trimmers. I already know I will be happy with the mower and will need to buy the heavy duty model. We use both trimmers at the same time switching out the four batteries.
This really is too much property for us but the grandkids do most of the trimming.
Thanks.
