Mowing the Lawn – Or Not

June 7, 2008

I pull the lawnmwer out twice a week. This is so I don’t kill myself. I am not sure if I told you or not, but I am going to skip the ride-on-mower purchase and stick with my pushmower. I am doing this for a few reasons. First, I just bought the push mower. I would hate to se it sit there and not get used. Second, I don’t want to become totally useless and lose the last bit of exercise I get. Third, I would like to not have to shell out another two grand for something I really don’t need.

Back to why I pull the push mower out twice a week. There is a lot of grass. By the time I get done with the grass up near the road, I am pretty pooped. I am also usually hacking from all the dust I just breathed in. I am sure that ride-on-mower will be looking really good one day.

I was going to mow the front, side and back yards today. It rained yesterday and they need to be cut. It is also above 90 degrees outside today. It is really hot. As I started looking at the lawn, I thought that I should, perhaps, wait a day or two. There are little seedlings forming at the tips of the blades. If I wait, maybe there will be more seedlings and I won’t have to buy more grass seed (for $45 a bag).

It’s really not that bad…

It also feels great between my toes.
