Finished up mowing my 6 acre yard this afternoon, hopefully for the final time this season. The maple trees are just starting to show some fall colors here in the middle of October . . . I'm ready for autumn, my favorite season.
Yard mowed for last time

Mighty handsome place in any season.
Somebody got a drone...

Where's my shotgun?
I cut mine last Saturday, also hopefully for the last time. I've got 20 acres but the mule, donkey and the cows do most of the mowing. Cutting with my riding mower takes an hour and then using the self propelled mower takes another 1-1 1/2 hours.
I don't celebrate the last lawn cutting of the season as much as I celebrate the last leaf clean-up. Then I get to look forward to snow ... seems like a never ending cycle of drudgery ...
I usually mow last time of the year in December. Don't start back up until January.

That is a fine looking place that you have to mow.

Sometimes here I have to mow a few weeds even in the winter.
I'm sure it's a lot of work but I envy your property! Very nice place!

Well, it's a process. I mow about an hour and a half with the tractor and 60" finish mower, then another 30 minutes with my 54" zero turn to mow places where the tractor is too big. Then about 15 minutes with the push mower up close to the house and other areas where the tractor and zero turn won't fit. Then about 30 minutes with the weed eater.
I mostly enjoy my time on the tractor or zero turn, not so much with the weed eater.
I said that 15 years ago when I moved to a Condo. I "watch" the grass being cut every Tues.
Faulkner, I'm trying to find the range in that picture...

Actually, it's just to the bottom of where the picture cut out. You can see the path I have mowed to it leading from the shop.

I haven't mowed a lawn since 1994 and don't miss it one bit!

Faulkner, you have some nice "toys" to play with. 
Here at home I'm guessing I've got one more mowing of grass & a couple of leaf pickups.

Usually, the week of Halloween sees my last cutting both at home and at a remote property where my range is.
Will be glad to be done - Fall is extremely busy with deer season, and Fall fishing around my coastal neighborhood looks to be epic this year!
