Today felt good. I had beautiful weather to work in, great music in my ears, and wonderful conversations with the folks for whom I mow. I took about 8hrs to do what could have been done in 5hrs but it doesn't matter. Today felt good.
One more day left in August. This month is the most brutal on me physically and on my equipment. Not because it's hotter, or because there's more work to do...but because I and my machines have been keeping this pace for a few months now. We're pushing our limits with little time between working to do anything but rest. One more day left in August.
I'm looking forward to winding down. Some years, September is just August 2.0, in others...it begins the decline of temperatures, daylight, rainy days, the growth of grass, and how much I work. Although I'm ready for another month or two of mowing at the pace of summer...I'm looking forward to winding down.
I am grateful to all of you.
