left handed midget scythe

When you have a scythe blade, what do you can you do with it?  Actually, maybe the question should be, who would have a scythe blade just lying around?
We had a problem at an tigin, WEEDS. We had lots of briars and other tall unwanted weeds growing up where we had been digging to remove junk and where we had loosened the top soil with the back-hoe.
So, Martin hauled out his scythe blade and attached a handle, turning it into a scythe for a left-handed midget.  (The handle is about three feet long.)  Martin is left-handed and I probably qualify as a midget, but the scythe doesn't work well for either of us.



I spent a chunk of time scything the weeds on the day that Martin finished taking down the kitchen addition.  I pulled a few nails and stacked a bit of lumber as a break from chopping weeds.
You are probably asking yourself why we didn't just use our string trimmer.  The simple answer is that we don't own one, so left handed-midget scythe it is.
