Lotus = Environmental monster
I thought what I said was an obvious joke. I mean, why hire a crop duster when you can freeze the Roundup and then use a snowblower?

Whats Edward Scissorhands up too these days? If he is in the unemployment line I gotta job...
Hooray for my HOA which includes all outside maintenance. Hopefully I've mowed my last lawn.

I actually like mowing the lawn.
Coming inside from working out in the yard smelling like gasoline and fresh cut grass... refreshing.

I had 3 acres when we first got married and with no neighbors I'd cut grass on Thursday night. It was pretty common for me to be cutting grass at 10 or 11 pm with a stiff drink in my hand. My wife could tell how drunk I got by how many places I missed while cutting. I'm down to about a 1/2 acre and I still have the 50 inch mower so it does not take very long to cut. I like yard work after being behind a desk all day/week.

Me too. It's a happy time for me with a sense of freedom.

In late fall, I try to let the grass grow tall as possible without looking too ugly, to get as thick as possible layer of dead grass come spring. Helps to keep the weeds down without having to use herbicides. Was spot spraying dandelions with roundup, probably mowing this weekend lol.

Been a long ass winter.
I'm more than happy to get out and do some yard work.
We're converting our back yard to dune grass so I'll have less to mow anyways.

A winter Ryegrass is also good to fight back weeds but the down fall is you will have to cut grass a few times over the winter. I had our yard looking so good last summer with a Winter Ryegrass I probably had 20 people stop to ask me what I did you get my grass looking so good.
