Finished around 7.  I didn&#8217;t want to deal with the nuisance and the noise of the electric mower, and glad for that &#8211; with the hand mower, you can feel and hear exactly what&#8217;s going on with the grass, where it&#8217;s thin, where it&#8217;s come in well.<\/p><p>Hadn&#8217;t realized until today how nice and level the back yard is after the grading last year.  I guess that crazy man with the Bobcat knew what he was doing!<\/p><p>I didn&#8217;t have to rake much, left the small clippings in for mulch.  The larger clippings collected on the top of the mower, and I used most of those to mulch the tomatoes.  It was also easier to do the edging with the hand mower.<\/p><p>Broke off some lavender by mistake; cleaned it and when it&#8217;s dry, will put it in with linens.<\/p><p>Tried painting with metallic paint and a stencil today to dress up the switch covers.  Didn&#8217;t work very well.  Visited some &#8220;antique&#8221; shops in Buzzards Bay.  Can&#8217;t find 3-toggle switch covers anywhere.<\/p><p>Someone launched a very respectable fireworks display tonight from the vicinity of Kristina Lane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to a seminar on lawns at Mahoney&#8217;s this morning.
