I Fought the Lawn

And this time, the lawn won.

The back lawn at my house was put in a while back, and up until now I'd been making sure the roots had time to set in, and thus not mowing it.

Boy, was that a mistake.

The grass is taller than the wheels on my lawnmower, and as such is extremely difficult to cut. I managed to make some progress, but I doubt that I got more than 10% of the back lawn cut down to size. I'm planning on going to a hardware store this evening to get a trimmer and try hacking down the grass a bit at a time.

Lesson learned: don't let the lawn go very long without mowing.
