- - - - - Yard Work - - - - -
You may have noticed that I don't write much about yard work here at The Swamp.
That's because I despise my "ride-on mower". Not because it's a broken-down POS - because it's not. The machinery is just fine. It works. I just hate cutting the lawn, even if the blasted mower DOES have a convenient little cup-holder that's just the right size for a bottle of beer for me to sip on whilst driving around the yard.
I just hate yard work.
I want my lawn to die a horrible death - but the sky keeps dripping water down, and makes the blasted thing grow.
My body aches, because the tractor (aka "ride-on mower") has no suspension. I sneeze copiously, from dusty grass/weed fragments. I itch, because the dusty grass/weed fragments stick to me.
My next trick is to unlimber the gas-powered weed-eater and get all the edges, AND all along the fence that encloses 3/4 of our one-acre lot.
From now through October, I'm going to be cutting the damned lawn at least every other week and running the weed-whacker in between times.
I hate yard work.
Pfui.
