Anytime is ok if you dont have neighbors. If you have neighbors its better to hold off a bit especially if they are elderly or very young.

Mostly the grass is too wet to mow before 7, and it can be way too hot to mow after noon. I sometimes mow late in the afternoon when shade exists.

We live in an area with lots of houses around. We try to wait until at least 8 am, but no later than that or we will be out in the heat of the day cutting our 2 acres...

I think by 7, most people are up getting dressed for a new workday.

THIS year's was definitely positive due to our new president! But please don't tell my pooch, she is terrified of them!

They're very beautiful, even though I know the noises can be hard on little kids and animals.

I live in the city. Someone very near us was shooting off fireworks. High flying, beautiful but dangerous for the area, thank you. I’m not sure who called the police.
