Great connection! Thank you. Mowing (and a paper route--DSM R & T) fueled me from 5th grade through early high school. Gratification rivaled the income as it was soul-satisfying to see the result; also a great time for reflection as no one interrupts the mower--hours of contemplation (including through puberty) was time well-spent.
My own confession--chain-sawing now rivals mowing. Obligate and unending real estate maintenance requires someone do it and equipped with all the safety wearables and the new Stihl battery-powered saws (light, quiet, always start!) it is a pleasure. It's like a day at the gym--the sawing does the uppers/core and picking up the lowers/core and the sweat just flows.
Love this, Beth!
Moderation is the key word in all parts of our lives. You created a picture in my mind of you as a happy mower. Made me jealous of your machine.
