Today I discovered the joys of mowing the grass with a riding lawn mower. Some may think me crazy, but it is tons of fun to drive around the yard attacking grass and weeds. The only thing missing is wings. I quite like an activity that I can do but don’t really have to concentrate on. My mind is free to wander where it will. I did learn two things specific to mowing though: (1) do not stick your tongue out in the cloud of bug spray you’ve just put on prior to mowing; and (2) one should keep one’s mouth closed when mowing. Bugs and grass bits don’t taste very good. So train up yourselves and your children to experience the joys of mowing. Just make sure you’re riding, not pushing. On a side note, is there anyone out there who can soup up a mower? I should so totally go into lawn mower racing.
