In my list of homemaking goals, under the subheading “Garden” lies goal #7:
“Mow a lawn with an old-style mower”
I am happy to say that today, I turned the text of Goal #7 gray…and wrote after it “DA: April 30, 2011”
Date of Accomplishment: April 30, 2011.
Because today, I went to my local Menards and bought myself a lawnmower.
I came home and assembled my lawnmower; then I mowed my front and side lawns.
So I’ve checked something off my list–but even more excitingly, I am now the owner of an old-style push lawn mower.
Which means I can mow my lawn the green way–any time I want!
I’m ecstatic.
(I’m also eager to see if my theory holds true that mowing with a manual mower is more allergy-friendly because it doesn’t kick grass particles quite so high into the air….I’ll keep you posted.)
Which reminds me of a little Jeopardy-style question I thought up in the tub a few days ago.
