day 32: "i am thankful for........a WORKING LAWNMOWER!"

i like to mow.  i really like to mow....it is the ONE chore that i like to do.  but, for over a month, our lawnmower was inoperable.  first it would start, but the blades would not run...then, it just stopped starting.  we would charge the battery at night...then it would start, no blade...  ok.  new battery.  still, would not start the blades.  then, it just stopped starting...even with a new battery and charged over night.  ok.  what can we do?!  the lawn is getting above my ankles!  (and i am one to keep my lawn short...getting a little embarrassing...)

now, we have an alternator on order.....new battery did not cut it.

1 1/2 weeks later, the alternator shows up.  hubby installs....yeah!  i get to mow!!   but......only about 5 blades of grass, before the darn blades disengage.  UGH!

think....think....think..............

good thing my hubby is a smart man....and extremely mechanical.

new clutch on order......

one week later.....clutch installed.

please...please....please......the grass is knee deep!

and the verdict is.....?????????

i got to take a break for a few hours from the roof this weekend....to mow our whole yard!!!!!  THANK YOU GOD!  my grass is short once again.....it's the little things like being able to mow my grass that gives me happiness....:)


.......so, what are you especially thankful for today?!
