Maximum #CottageCore moment: Mowing tall grass with a scythe in drizzling rain.
Got fed up when the drizzle turned into another downpour though. Can I have my drought back now? I've got shitloads of stuff to do outside and it's no good if it all washes away in a torrent of mud.
Anecdote: When we viewed the property last year, The Old Man (98 then) clambered around the raised sections of the barn, showing us the treasures he had hoarded there. In one that was filled with mostly old straw there was said scythe leaning against a wall. As he walked on the straw, the pointy thing fell over, narrowly missing his face. This did not even slow him down!
