Look closely.
Come on, just a little bit closer.
Don't you see there are multiple shades of green in that space?
And can't you tell that the brighter, darker greens consume less area than they did?
Well, it's true.
I spent another forty minutes today pushing the lawnmower around.
And, even though I'd waited until 7 PM, when all of the sun was gone from the yard, it was still crazy hot out there, lacking the little breeze that graced the air yesterday.
With the heat index, Savannah got up to 105 F.
In June.
Just crazy hot.
But, one good thing about that: those diagonal lines I put in yesterday?
That most def allowed the moisture to evaporate, making for a faster mow today.
Only once did I have to stop and clean the blades of wet grass... and it was a much lesser quantity than plagued the mowing yesterday.
Still, i think I'll have to give it a rest tomorrow.
The temperature is due to be 8 degrees hotter than it was today.
Crazy hot.
