Mosquitos are breeding in the dirt it is so wet, so they are keeping me from enjoying it so much this year (at least so far).

Wonder no more...I did get an electric lawn mower. And it is the cutest little thing. I just love it. The only down side is that the battery only lasts about 25 minutes, and it takes me about 40 minutes to do the yard. Luckily, the battery recharges in about one half hour so that I can just do something else for a while so the battery charges.

This is the mower that I ended up getting:
