it's also strange to mow the lawns Dad delegated to us 25 years ago. I enjoy (as he probably didn't!) that neither the house across the street nor the big apartment building next to us have mowed their lawns at all this year, which I take as permission to let it go for much longer than average
the city replaced the sidewalk (good!) but replaced the grass they dug up (good!) with some hydromat mixture (...good?) that either got stomped down to uselessness or is insanely prolific and astonishingly unstable under the wheels of a lawnmower *gouging noises intensify*
the wages of procrastination is mowing the (well, front-facing and worst portions only) lawns in 95 degree heat
