In the summer most residents in my development hire a service to groom & maintain their lawns. There are a few who cut their own grass with a riding mower. I, however, am the only one who does her own mowing with a push mower, &, of course, also do my own trimming & weed eating. I'm sure it's quite a sight to see this girl chasing a self-propelled mower since I often forget to release this feature going downhill! I could sell tickets!
Yesterday it was unseasonably warm . . . that is, the temperature climbed all the way to 50 degrees. I lamented that work & evening tennis would prevent me from using this warmer weather to put Christmas lights up outside my house. About 10:30 last night it occurred to me that I could just go ahead & put the lights up right then. So I dragged out the lights, extension cords, ladder, etc. & went to work on it. During my time outside, many cars slowed to see what the heck I was doing. About midnight I finished . . . just in time to unplug them for the night . . . but I do have a sense of accomplishment. And once again, I'm sure I provided entertainment for the neighborhood.
