Today’s run:  3.57 miles

Once upon a time, I had a dream. I had a dream of a nicely mowed back field. But it was only a dream.  And then today happened.  I looked out my back door and there was my neighbor.  He was bush-hogging that back field!  Cool Beans!

The weeds in that field were much taller than I.  Now I realize that at five foot (well almost five foot) tall, that that is not saying much, but when you are talking about weeds being taller than five foot, well, that is one tall weed.

Bush-hogging allows you to mow down tall weeds up to the diameter of a man’s arm.  Bush-hogging is serious business.  It is also something that I would love to do.  Sitting on top of a tractor and tooling around a field, mowing down everything in sight…well, that just sounds like my idea of a good time!

So, our back field will be clean shaven for about two weeks and then the weeds will begin to grow again.  Until next October when our neighbor mows again, I will enjoy it!bush hogging 0ct 3 005
