Things I Learned From Mowing Our Lawn
- Should have purchased a bagged mower
- I feel self-conscious mowing the front yard when the neighbors are outside
- I feel self-conscious mowing the front yard when the neighbors’ construction men are outside
- We need work gloves
- A bagless mower, on windy days, will not be fun
- Filling the gas can is quite possibly the scariest task in the world
- When not in a hurry, the front and back yards can be mowed in under 45 minutes.
- Mower vs. Gigantic Mushrooms = Mower wins (for now)
- Picking up sticks sucks just as much now as it did when I was a kid
- We need a weed-wacker

My money is on the mushrooms.
We have work gloves, but they might have gotten left in Big Stone City.
Did you say “five, six…” before you picked up the sticks?
Also, thank you for mowing.
haha this is so funny. It is about identical to the things I learned when I mowed my lawn for the first time too! I am totally self conscious about mowing in front of people because I think I mow weird, if thats a possibility! Other note: even though setting the blade low is tempting so you dont have to mow again soon..don’t i have nice bald spots on my lawn….hahah
Another observation, I have the urge to mow the same way that I vacuum…
Congratulations on having a lawn to mow!
I’m giving you time to settle- then I’m excited to come over and see the new place.
Try mowing it the same way you vacuum sometime. I think that would be pretty funny for your neighbors to see.
The mushrooms and sticks seem to multiply as fast the rabbits. If only the rabbits would eat the mushrooms…..
As a child I always swore that I’d rather die than mow the lawn. Those feelings haven’t changed much.
