First lawnmowing of the season

I had to set the mower to the high setting so it wouldn't get gummed up with the tall grass, and then there were the molehills, which I raked as flat as necessary and mowed over. Gum didn't work to kill the moles, although something ate it (birds?) I'm going to try cayenne pepper, since someone recommended it. I'm still debating getting a real (gas) mower to replace my (rather wimpy for the damp Pacific Northwest) electric corded (Black and Decker) mower, which I bought to replace my (even wimpier, in terms of endurance) electric cordless (also Black and Decker) mower. Sigh.
I need to go back and mow at a lower setting, run the edger for the hard to reach spots, mow the front (a pretty tiny patch of grass), spread or spray some crabgrass killer, and cut back some bamboo. Being a homeowner isn't always all it's cracked up to be, and with that (unprintable) Obama in office and the traitor Democrat congress, house prices aren't likely to bounce back any time soon to give us the ability to opt out.
