Hot Hot Hot - Mowing the Grass

Even though I live in a maintenance free community where they mow the grass, because part of my backyard is fenced, I have to mow that part myself. I've been watching the morning weather so I can get out there and mow without completely melting.

When I started mowing, the temperature was 75 degrees. It only takes about 30 minutes to mow, weed eat and blow away the loose grass but by the time I was finished, the temperature had soared to 83 degrees. I bought this cheap fan from Amazon the last time I mowed. You'd be surprised how fast this $13.00 fan cools you off. I may have to beg one of the kids to mow the next time unless this heat wave breaks.
