' Mowing lawn, in my mind, ranks right up there
at the top of the untouchables beside washing
dishes and ironing clothes. But every Spring this
funny green stuff grows in our oversized yard, and
my Mom keeps threatening to disown us if she
can’t find the house in the weeds.
So, we mow the lawn. This year, though, a new
' mower was bought, so instead of arguing over who
mows the lawn, the fight is over who uses which
lawn mower.
I seem to have inherited the job of mowing the
area around the pond. To mow around the pond or

Uncwtw Farwinf, Saturday, May 27,1978
not to mow around the pond has been a debate
that has been continuing as long as we have lived
on the farm.
When my father was alive, he thought he found
the ideal solution to the pond dilemna. He put up
a fence and turned some happy sheep loose in the
area to eat the lush grass to their hearts’ content.
But Mother objected to the fertilizer the sheep left
there and since our picnic area was near the pond,
and lots of our friends didn’t understand life on
the farm, the fence cagne down, and the sheep
moved back to the pasture.
Then a tractor mower was bought. This made
most mowing much easier but unfortunately the
bank of the pond has a suicide slope on one side
that only the bravest idiots attempt. I used to do it
in high school and tried to show my sister once
how you put the tractor in gear, let the clutch fly,
and mow down the hill at 90 miles an hour,
swerving in the middle for the trees in the way.
She retired to the house with a headache and has
never been seen in the pond area again.
So I’m still mowing the pond with occasional
help from my brother. But now this year we have
the self-propelled push mower to play with.
My biggest worry is that the machine seems to
have a mind of its own. It goes at its own rate of
speed and can’t seem to read my mind when to
stop. I keep seeing this vision of it disappearing
over the pond bank into the water to slowly
sink out of sight
Maybe then Mother would let the sheep back
out.
