I went green for my lawn.
I needed a small lawn mower so I could work on my lawn myself and not have to call someone every time it needs a basic run through. With the problems I’d had with my back and the very steep hill we have in our back yard, I wasn’t able to cut the grass myself for quite a while. I’m happy to say that my back is doing much better and I’m now able to get out there and work on it.
Unfortunately, I had gotten rid of our mower already. I didn’t like it anyway. It was too heavy and cumbersome and the pull starter was very difficult. I had worked with it many times and was basically unhappy with it.
This time I wanted to go light. I wanted to go as maintenance free as possible. So I got one of these little things.
Most of all, it allows me to work outside again in short bursts of productive energy. I like doing it. I love thinking while doing monotonous work. I love the feeling of making a difference that’s visible in my yard. I really like it.
We will see if I say the same thing in July. No promises.
I still need help with the steep hill in back, but we will save money this summer by only calling for help once a month instead of three and four times.
