momma would be so proud.

even though we were totally exhausted after returning home from our cabin weekend and then grocery shopping, it was unavoidable that our grass had. to. be. mowed. austin planned on doing it last weekend, but didn't get around to it and we really just couldn't wait any longer.

but instead of austin doing it, i had him show me how to use our new lawn mower and i did it all by myself! ok. mostly by myself. austin did the first outline around the whole yard and then took over a little bit of the front yard once an angry hornet was on the loose.

but doesn't it look wonderful?

i only planned on doing the front yard {it's way smaller} but i was on a roll and did the back yard, too!

and yes, my hands are blistered and sore today. but i managed to not chop off a limb, although i did get a battle scar. and it was intense. there was blood.

in case you have poor vision and can't see my wound, i pointed it out for you here.

pretty intense, i know.
