Cutting the grass ... a piece of cake?

[Fan Of Arabian Horses]

Not for me! I mean, mewing the green in the garden can be a hard work sometimes, escpecially if the ground isn?t even. But when I cut the grass to let it dry for hay, I?m used to do it very carefully. The matter of that are the animals that are breeding and having the rising generation on your meadow. Ducks and rabbits and most other animals will escape when they hear your clattering machines, not so do fawns. Fawns try to hide at their place where they lay and behave quiet. And if you aren?t careful you can cut them too. Fortunately, my traktor is an nearly 40 years old machine and have not much power, so that I?m used to drive very slowly ( sometimes there is a snail distancing me, greeting me kindly ) and I have the chance to see the fawn?s places. Last year I rescued two fawns and this year there wasn?t one. There only have been laying a dead doe, which must have had an accident a few weeks ago on the near street. You can believe me that I?m happy every year, when I have finished the cut. And when the hay is ready and my horses like it, I?m enthusiasmized every year again and I think: It?s a wonderful feeling having made the hay!
