    Who mows your lawn?

    Since becoming part-time at work I have starting mowing the lawn. Hubby still does the edging and trimming but I find the mowing to be a good way for me to get some exercise into my day. The mower is self-propelled but of course I have to do the walking! LOL! I actually have come to enjoy it and take great pride in my finished work. How about you? Who mows at your house?

    Hubby usually mows because he has a little lawn tractor I mow some of the time but don't like the tractor and think the push mower cut looks nicer. I am the chief detailer though!! I do the edging and sidewalk detail. Sometimes I get carried away and do the neighbor's yard too

    We live in privatized base housing so they are responsible for mowing our front yard and all public areas. We only have to mow our fenced in backyard.

    I can't convince the dogs to do it so I'm the one stuck with mowing duties . I don't enjoy it when it's hot, I don't mind it as much when it's cooler. I do always enjoy looking at the end result.

    The end result! Yes that is the best part!! I enjoy looking at a manicured and healthy lawn - and enjoy the detailing part best of all. Which reminds me - weeding is overdue and since WoW realm is down - I had better get outside and do the edging, trimming and general weeding. Hubby is already out on his tractor

    LOL,
    The dogs have killed most of it, otherwise, we all take turns.

    That would be Bruce's job. I don't touch the lawn and he doesn't touch the laundry. Works out great!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Since I live by myself I do my own yard. I have a small riding lawn mower that does it. I too like the look of my yard when I push mow it but pushmowing the whole yard really aggravates my foot.
    When I was off last year with my foot my mom came over and did it - that was alright except the first time she did it right after I broke my foot she didn't turn sharp enough and ran up into my flower bed and almost hit the house. The neighbor had to come help her push it off. But if you know my mother you know it is just a Nancy-ism.

    For years I did all the mowing until last year when I suffered a back and leg injury. This year hubby and I split it 50/50. I wish we had a riding mower but our yard isn't that big. I'm better now so I'm sure next year it will be all me.

    My brother mows the lawn. The deal is he has to pay $200 a month for rent. Every time he mows the lawn (once a week) he gets paid $50. The idea is that if he keeps the lawn mowed weekly he doesn't have to pay to live at the house.

    My dad is chief detailer, and my mom is in charge of the gardens.

    I've been the only one tall enough to push the mower for the past 20 years. Since I bought an electric mower, I really don't mind. Starts quick, runs smooth and quietly, done in an hour and a half for front and back.

    My oldest brother actually mows all 3 lawns...his and my parents two..because all 3 houses basically make a triangle....My parents new house and his are next to each other and across the street is their "old" house that they'll be remodeling.

    He volunteered to mow all 3 each week on tuesday because he has a riding lawn mower.

    Before i moved back home a few months ago I had my own place in Kewanee,IL and my lovely landlord offered to mow my lawn because he too has a riding lawn mower

    I pick up the poo and mow the lawn, I also take care of the flowers beds and lay down the mulch in the spring.

    My hubby uses the weed eater.

    I think I got a bad deal!

    I do! After helping to cut the biggest lawn around here (called a golf course!), I have to come home and cut my own grass, thank goodness for small lawns!
