Zen of Mowing
I've just finished mowing...which I enjoy. It's the Zen thing....grass tall, grass short...of a routine job well done. Plus in our yard, there's the added excitement of can I mow this bank or this one without tipping over & killing myself? (Yes, so far) Will the mower fit between the Jeep & the storage building? (No as a matter of fact Michael dear, it won't)
It's the perfect escape for an hour or so. I don't have to talk or listen to the dogs & cat fight or be lawyer/mom/wife/chief cook & bottle washer...I can just mow. And BTW, a big thanks to our neighbor to the west for leaving the tree that fell out of his yard into ours. I enjoyed that extra 30 minutes cleaning up your mess out of our yard. At least now I don't feel so bad about laughing when the Bradford pear you mangled with your half-assed pruning last year blew over & took out your phone line the other day. No wonder our dogs always bark at you...you're an asshat.
Now I'm on to the Zen of cleaning the kitchen & washing dishes...somehow that's not as much fun as mowing the lawn. Probably because there's no motors involved.

Seems to be a lot of that yard work thing going around.
