Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was out mowing the grass for the PTA first thing in the morning, lol. Mowing the grass at school is really hard work. There are concrete blocks all over the place, and just when you think it’s just grass, it turns out to be some other kind of plant, lol. When I can’t tell for sure… lol. Anyway, I managed to mow about 80% of the school grounds with the mower…
