Carl does most of the mowing because no one does it to his standards. Sometimes if he is really busy and I am in a good mood I will mow it. When he was in Florida, I mowed it all the time. I am a big flower gardener/pond person so I do everything else in the yard. Plant flowers, weed, mulch, clean pond pumps, etc. I love being outside - all though as I grow older I am finding the heat and especially high humidity harder to tolerate. If left alone, I could be out all day and not mind one bit. I don't mind the mowing just the criticisms of Mr. Perfect.
