It's interesting to me the things that used to do as a child... as in things I had to do... as in chores, that I did not enjoy doing, now as an adult I find much satisfaction in them. Today, after work, I came home and mowed the grass. I don't often do that. Michael usually handles it. That's fine because I normally do most of the inside housework, but not always. Still, our grass really needed mowing. We've had some really good rains in the past few weeks and it has definitely grown. Due to rather painful bout with gout, Michael is not really up to the challenge of it today. So, I took the reins and mowed the yard.
It was not the greatest job, admittedly, but it's done. I think I have mowed the grass two, maybe three times in the ten years we've lived here so I'm out of practice. But as I was doing it, I really did feel accomplished. And I was getting some decent exercise and sweating as well. Always a plus. I was not very consistent in how I mowed. Sometimes I went around in a square formation. Sometimes I just did up and down lines. Very inconsistent LOL But, it's done. I just need more practice.
We don't have an extremely big yard, but we do take pride in it. I just hope I didn't mow over any actual plants Michael has put in the ground. I don't think I did. Here's hoping. I will keep practicing and doing more mowing. It's only fair. And the more I do it, the better I will get at it. Now, the next challenge will be picking up the weed eater. I haven't touched one of those in probably 30 years. Fun fun!!
That is all.
