The grass is green and growing

Well, thankfully the snow didn't hang around and I was able to get back to the yard work. Yes, the lawn actually needed cutting.

But to be honest, I also had to try out the new mower. I traded the one I had purchased last fall in on a new self propelled model. The old one was a good machine with a 6.5 horse Briggs and Straton motor, but it seemed a little heavy, and the hills in the to yard just proved too much for the regular push job!

So the new one is orange. And yes, Don, it is a Husqvarna, a 5521BBC with a Honda motor to be exact. Variable speed rear wheel drive, blade brake (so you can turn off the cutting blade but still walk the machine), single leaver multi-wheel height adjustment, and of course option to mulch, side discharge, or rear bag. We take lawn mowing very seriously.
