Guess what the recent rains have brought; yes, green grass, healthy crops, lush pastures, smiling trees, happy farmers, yes, yes, but also something else. A fence line was removed on my property. It was a boundary line with neighbor's property. Next to it was a field road giving access to other property. With the removal of the fence grass was planted this spring as cover for the road. Naturally along with the new grass came a bumper crop of weeds. It's necessary to clip, mow high, this menagerie for the sake of the new grass. Thus a farmer went out to mow.
That action revealed what else the recent rains have brought; mosquitos. My nephew and I cooperate with a mower. It's my mower which he keeps and uses so I borrowed his tractor, already attached to the mower, to do today's mowing. It's much more modern than mine and has a cab. That cab was essential protection from the clouds of mosquitos that emerged from weeds as I mowed. Had they been higher in the sky they would have darkened the sun!😎 So the mowing is done with nary a mosquito bite.
Takk for alt,
