The Mow Lawner

This morning was a first for me, I MOWED THE LAWN, for the first time in so many years I can't even remember (possibly since high school?). Usually this is one of Randy's duties, but he's been having some wicked allergies (he looks like a boxer and not in a good way) and we've had soccer games at night so he hasn't gotten it done and our yard has been looking seriously abandoned.



So this morning I asked him if there was anything I needed to know about the lawn mower (there was) and then I took care of business. Fortunately it wasn't too hot yet, though I still did a substantial amount of sweating (good beads, big beads of sweat). It proved to be a workout for me, but it was mighty satisfying too.


I ended up being covered in grass (our mower doesn't have a bag on it) but felt like I had really earned my shower when it was all done. It took me less time to mow the lawn than I've spent wishing it was done! I wonder what else I've been wishing would happen that I could just get busy and do myself?!

Happy Birthday Elisa!!!

**When was the last time you mowed the lawn?
Are there things you don't do but surely could?
Did you recognize my beads of sweat reference?
Do you kids call it a mow lawner?**
