Last night, while mowing my new challenging lawn that provides me with many hills, slants, and tall tall weeds and few blades of grass I came face to face with the innocent victims of the MOWER and, therefore, myself.
I've honestly never seen anything like it. Bugs jumping and flying for their lives. At first I was going slow to allow the grasshoppers time to escape the path of the mower...or I would swerve and then once it escaped I would swerve back to get the blades I missed. Unfortunately, it is a rather big yard and there were a zillion grasshoppers and other uniquely strange and pretty bugs. So eventually I just mowed...looking straight ahead and not focusing on the path of destruction below....I actually contemplated sparing a LARGE spider, then thought better of it as it hauled ass towards my house. Anyway, long story short, a simple household chore turned in to a battle of internal emotions for myself and I have blood on my hands...those poor poor bugs....I guess that's what happens when you live so close to the woods. Luckily I did not run into our snake...I will post pics of OUR snake soon.
