I mowed the grass this weekend... actually the first time I've ever mowed the grass. I was having a bit of a problem staying straight, but I guess I'll get the hang of it eventually.
I also forgot to wear a mask so I'm having a hard time breathing despite the Advil.
I did it with the Reel Mower first, but it wasn't getting the straggly pieces so I had to pull out the electric one. I'll get the hang of it.
It's also freezing in here... I'm really not complaining... really. So hurray for 3-day weekend!!!!
:D
Even though the price is steep, with gas prices going the way they are the little guy may end up paying for itself in no time.
And if you don't want to porch-sit, I think it would come in nicely for multi-tasking. I attack the weeds, vegetable and flower beds while this little guy mows. And he doesn't complain.
I think this is a win-win situation.
My birthday is in July. *winkwinknudgenudge*
Update: The cap'n and I have decided it'll probably run into fences more than anything.
And most of it consisted of yard work. I planted a ton of pansies, and weeded. Weeding takes me forever because I always think I'm done and then there's ONE more.
That and I have a rekindled loathing for crab grass.
But the other highlight besides the pansies (don't worry, pictures I know you want to see are coming) was buying a lawn mower.
My reasoning - I'm clumsy. A gas mower would kill me. And the electric one we have now has a 40ft cord on it that is beyond annoying. My solution - push mower. I used to mow the grass with one when I was like 12, I remembered them being fun.
So we were in Lowe's and she bought one. Needless to say she won't be needing to go to the gym a lot for a shapely back and shoulders.
