The Lawnmower Man
This is fun?!
One of the most dreaded chores I had to do as a teen was to mow our lawn. The hot summers and the vast expanse of a midwestern lawn seemed pretty brutal and unfair to me at the time. (Although when one is in their teens, just about everything is 'unfair').
Anyway, this weekend, I reflected on the fact that one of my most favorite chores at my house is to mow, weed and tend to my lawn. Funny huh? Another sign of being an adult I guess or perhaps because a year ago my yard was hard packed clay and dirt and is now a lush, green expanse. Either way, there is no escaping the fact that I love to mow my yard.
