David, The Truck, and The Lawnmower

So today I am working out in the yard while Megan and Will are having nap time. I have so much to do before the open house on Sunday. While I am on my knees digging out the grass from the flower beds, David has been mowing the yard. He starting cutting the grass near our neighbors mailbox. This usually only takes a few minutes, but this time it seems to be taking longer and for some reason I no longer hear the lawnmower. Well, here he comes, looking quite guilty about something. Tells me "Hi" and that I should not be alarmed and walks into the house. Well, I know something is up so I follow him to see if blood is dripping off his person. (Yes, that has happend before!)

Well, he gets his truck key and I ask him why do you need that if you are cutting grass. Did he run out of gas? "No," he says "everything is fine. Just go about your business." He hops in the truck then drives it out of the driveway and over to the big hill at the ditch. I follow, wanting to know what is going on and thinking this will make a great story. It does. He has gotten the lawnmover stuck on top of small trees that he decided to run over. He proceeds to pull said stuck lawnmover with a tow strap strapped from the back of his pickup truck. I just wish I had a camera. Maybe I need to buy him a bushhog. :)
