Basic Grounds keeping

Today I did some basic grounds keeping in the back yard.

After I mowed, I used the string trimmer to cut the grass out of the mower's reach. As I develop the lawn I am moving to eliminate the need for the string trimmer. I aim to be able to cut every square inch of turf with the lawn mower without edging.
Next I took the blower around and blew the leaves and stuff off the patio onto the lawn. I also went around and blew stuff laying where the lawn sweeper won't reach out onto the lawn to pick up with the sweeper. In nature the wind sculpts dramatic settings. The blower can be used similarly to sculpt landscapes in the yard.
The reel mower clips the grass like scissors, so the grass tips do not turn brown. Using the reel mower and the sweeper leaves the lawn looking like a carpet, even though it is mostly weeds where it is not bare.
To finish I set up the sprinkler and watered. The summer heat is on now. I use a little gauge that the water department hands out every spring at the garden show.
The grass I sowed is starting to come in and the bare spots are slowly vanishing.
I tell myself, "Patience, Bob, patience." I want, I want, I want.
