I have mowed the back lawn off and on for almost 20 years. I have mowed around in a rectangle shape or diagonally across. I have never used the crop circle approach. It is good to use a different path as not to create tire ruts from repetition. Perhaps on my next day out to mow the lawn I will try the crop circle approach.
After the circles came the chipping. The stump that Eric chipped away at was aching to be chipped up a bit more. Of course Jacob likes getting his picture taken. Then again, what was I thinking taking a picture of Jacob with an axe in his hands?
