First lawn mow of the season is DONE.

I didn't dare wait any longer. I took the mulch shield off and set the blades at 6, but then moved them down to 5, with no problem.

Next will be the back lot. Half is still too boggy for the mower, but I can at least get the part that's closest to the street. That's tomorrow, though. It will be warmer.

The back lot really holds groundwater for a long time, in the Spring. There have been years when I couldn't mow until Memorial Day weekend.
