She gets to use a riding zero-turn mower, it is the only one she is tall enough to use. The first time she mowed, she was all over the place. When she thought she ws done, I helped her go over everything she missed. Now she is learning to go in a pattern so that it all gets done. I let her choose the pattern after I outline the section I would like her to mow. With almost 2 acres to mow and 2 steep ditches, I give her the easy stuff with all the trees.

Funny, my 7 year old son hasn't started asking when he can mow the lawn. He generally has his nose buried in some book about rocks and fossils while my husband and I are slaving in the yard. In the zillion degree heat. I, too, would have liked to have seen pictures! Funny, my 7 year old son hasn’t started asking when he can mow the lawn.
