We’ve been trying to sell our sailboat, Tyche, for a few years now. She has been tucked in the back of the yard.
The boat was nestled in the weeds behind The Cottage.
Recently we’ve had some interested buyers so I decided she should be moved from her berth under the trees to a more open spot.
There’s space behind the big upended oak root left by Hurricane Irene.
At first Charlie hooked her up to the lawnmower but the tires just spun. Then with his helpful little tire pumping contraption he pumped both the tires on the trailer that carries Tyche.
Tire pump plugs into car cigarette lighter and pumps up low tires.
With the tires fully pumped and the mower hooked up to the trailer, little by little Tyche sailed across the yard.
A ride-on lawnmower is a handy machine.
She is now settled into the free space behind the big root where the Hurricane Irene trees fell.
Out in the open but behind the big root.
We figure there’s less chance of peripheral damage from falling branches and an easier exit when someone does decide that they must have her.
The look says: “Are you still following me?”
Now we can get the back of the yard cleared up before winter sets in. The ground is covered with zillions of acorns that have begun to sprout.
Have you used your mower for things other than mowing the grass? Like what?
