Mow ... or Less

If you've been reading for a while, you probably know how much I love to mow. No, seriously, I do. There's just something about going out there and zoning out, yet being productive at the same time. But if you checked out my yard right now, you'd never know that mowing makes me happy. Because it looks like the grass is plotting a hostile takeover, y'all. It's not that I don't want to get it taken care of, it's just that a set of circumstances has prevented me from doing my lawnmower-ly duties of late. Here ... I've drawn you a set of pictures so you can see exactly why the yard looks so shaggy.



So see? TOTALLY not really my fault. What?? I can't control the weather or my impulses which led me to take a weekend trip to Chicago.

It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

  3. I love to mow because, like you said, you are being productive, I can listen to my mp3 and don't have to be responsible for the children for an hour. :) :) :) It's the rain's fault. Here too.

  4. I have to say, I totally agree with you. Mowing is awesome and I will do that any day to get out of changing a diaper or doing the dishes.

  7. I think I might have to take up mowing, since everyone talks about how much they love it. But lawnmowers give me anxiety (think pediatric emergency room), so I'm not sure I'd derive the same pleasure out of it as everyone else seems to.

  8. Too bad for me, mowing is my husband's only "chore" around here... even though I like to mow. Love your drawings too!

  9. I don't mind mowing so long as it's not overly hot. When it's overly hot, I feel like I'm about to die.
