From Psychology Today: Mowing the grass has mind-body health benefits. There's something meditative about pushing a mower back and forth across that patch of green. Plus, it's a practical way to work in a workout while burning some serious calories. So save the money on a lawn care service, and find another excuse to hire the neighborhood teen. Here's a look at why the grass is greener on the DIY side.

No thanks psychology today. Just after I took this picture this afternoon. $ neighbor hood kids offered to mow the whole damn yard for 25 dollars American. Every 2 weeks for 2 more months No new lawnmowers, no aggravation. I'm down with that.
Mowing the lawn... I don't miss it one bit. Rocks in my yard here in Las Vegas. Rocks, cactus, a few agave, some trees. Not one thing that needs mowing. I was a slave to that for decades. Never again!
ReplyDeletexeriscape the whole damn thing. nothing but rocks. kinda zen, you know? 'course, that might make raking leaves in the fall a tad challenging.
ReplyDeleteRake leaves? That's what wind is for. And my neighbors believe in the wonders of gas powered 120 db leafblowers. Thank god for jet noise to drown out the blowers. Suburbia is hell in shades of green. Rock retaining wall around my front yard to hold the dirt to grow the grass that people mow. But not me.
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy son cuts the grass now and I hae informed my wife once he leaves for college she will hire someone to do it. As I write about constantly I despise yard work, if I want a nice green park to relax in I have several that I pay taxes to support.
yah, nothing around my house but parking.
ReplyDeleteSad, true confession. When all the cousins gathered and flopped to the grass to watch the stars come out, I'd dart my eyes around looking for a rug, a beach towek, anything to put between my person and the grass. Ugly stuff. Depletes our world of more of what we need.
