Although the cows and horses are keeping the grass eaten down in the pastures, the front "lawn" was growing wildly so I "mowed" it today in my usual fashion with the shredder. I knew there was a hose stretched out along the front fenceline, but I didn't think I could actually drive the tractor close enough to snag it - HA! Do you know what a mess it makes when you run a shredder over a hose? It took me quite a while to cut all the twists and knots from around the blades (which I noticed are about as sharp as a broom handle!) Who would have thought it could wrap around so many different ways so fast? And I very nearly did the whole thing again with a hose in front of the barn... but the front yard does look a little better.
