We not only have a sickle, we also have a scythe. We used to need them to cut the grass in the back garden, but in recent years I've been using an electric strimmer (from "string trimmer"). I think you call those weed wackers. I realised recently that a strimmer/weed wacker it the modern version of a scythe because you swing it in a similar way.

I'm glad you could save the turtle and ensure it got safely to the other side of the road.
