Haying, I Mean, Mowing the Lawn

The picture quality's not great, but at least you have some idea...
Recently, our lawn mower broke.  Huh.  This means, that, on June 11, we mowed the lawn for the first time all year.  So, naturally, the lawn was up to just below my hip.  We finally did get our lawn mower fixed, and then it couldn't handle the lawn.  So my dad brought in the hay rake.

So, my dad spent all day yesterday raking hay, and heaping it up into piles with pitchforks, and hauling it out to dry it.  This is sad!
Our yard.....

About a third of our lawn clippings.

The Haybine did not get the grass short enough, so we are going to have to mow over it all again with the regular mower.
