But 3 weeks ago, when it was time to mow the lawn for the first time this year, I found myself itching to do it. Part of it was because it was ridiculously long and I was preparing for Michelle and Kristi to come and stay with me, but part of it was because I really wanted to do it.
I have decided that it's like really satisfying vacuuming with results that last about a week. I love being outside (unless it's beastly hot), love the smell of it, love zoning out in my thoughts, and love the finished product. This is definitely a new love for me!
**Will you do this SPT?
Do you like mowing the lawn?
Do you ever wonder what else you
might love that you haven't discovered yet?**

That is how I see mowing the lawn also. It is like vacuuming. Straight lines, it is loud and I can zone out and be in my own little world to think and I love the look of fresh cut grass. I do not enjoy doing it though when it is hot outside. I admire from my air conditioned house.
I LOVE mowing the lawn. It really is like vacuuming x10. I think Linc has done it maybe 5 times in the 4 years we have lived here.
I try everything I can because I wonder if I will love it. I like to experience things firsthand I guess :) I am so glad you are enjoying is so much!
That's so funny that you love mowing the lawn. I bet your husband loves that :-) I can't wait to actually have a lawn to mow! So envious.
I used to love mowing the lawn....that is until we moved near the beach and our lawn is part grass...part sand. NO LONGER FUN. haha! You get the mower caught in small sand traps. It's ridiculous.
I'm glad you love to mow....my yard is your canvas-COME ON OVER. haha!
just makes you wanna lay in the grass when your done cuz its so fresh and pretty..
i LOVE mowing the lawn! way more than vacuuming!
I enjoyed mowing the lawn more at our last house as I didn't have to worry about running over sprinkler heads (cause that wouldn't be good)

I don't mow the lawn at my house...too stinking hot. But when I visit my sister I beg to mow her lawn.
not so much vacuuming and not so much mowing
I love mowing the lawn... definitely one of my free therapies.
I have never mowed a lawn. Crazy huh? The problem is my husband rarely mows it either--and I HATE how it looks so bad most of the time. This summer I won't have a tiny baby so I may have to get myself out there behind the mower. Maybe I'll have an epiphany!
I have loved it, I love the smell of grass...haven't done it in a long long time, I wonder.....what I would love that I haven't discovered....I have a super awesome painting set that I have dreamt of taking it to Laguna Beach and paint something, I figure if my mum has a great talent for oil painting...I must too>.......
You summed it up perfectly!--Mowing the lawn is totally like vacuuming but with longer lasting results!! Mowing the lawn is one of the most satisfying things I do! Even though we've got a riding mower, hand mowers still give me great pleasure!
You are so right...it is like vacuuming with longer resutls! I lOVE freshly mowed lawn, especially when you can see the lines.
I should definitely try more things to see if I love them!
i have to admit- i love mowing lawns. not so much here, with all the rocks i worry will fly into my face- but there's something deeply satisfying about grass.
my dad taught me to mow- and he was always changing the pattern of the mow. my favorite, though, is mowing on the diagonal. i love that. and yes, it took me 3 tries to spell diagonal correctly....
we weren't allowed to mow the lawn in my family because my dad thought it wasn't a lady like activity. hee, hee. i begged and begged him to let me even try, and he would never budge. i was so excited when i moved into a house years later in utah when my friend taught me how to mow. i loved it. instant gratification. it's like the same rush you get when you finally organize all of your junk, but even better because it happened so quickly.
hmm, maybe my dad was just trying to keep the high for himself?
i feel oddly thrilled and excited after mowing the lawn, but i can't say i've ever had an "itch" to hop to it again!
Nothing beats the smell of fresh cut grass. I remember enjoying mowing the lawn when I was younger...it gives me the same sort of satisfaction as vacuuming. Instant gratification with little effort.
Intriguing question--do I wonder what else I might love that I haven't discovered yet. Something to think about. I'm hoping to post my SPT today!
