Crops

It had been a while since I mowed the lawn. Yes, I have mowed since the incident.

I probably mow about half as much as the neighbor does. He hasn’t said much about it, so I don’t know that he minds that much. Several years ago, he did make some comment, after I had mowed and the grass was so long that the grass clippings were in nice neat rows. There was so much grass that the discharge chute couldn’t throw it very far, so the long clippings were just left in a mound as I drove around.

His comment was something to the effect of “nice harvest”. I got the impression he thought I should go back over the lawn after I was done, but this time with a baler.

Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

Leviticus 19:9
