Comments on: Wow, I Haven’t Done That in a Long Time…. https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=469 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Mike Nugent https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=469&cpage=1#comment-11918 Tue, 01 May 2007 14:43:56 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=469#comment-11918 Yet another reason to move north from those southern climates! The last bit of snow has just melted from my yard (early this year, it’s usually around until mid-May at least) and it will be several weeks before I even consider mowing anything!

I’ve got 3+acres which is mostly wooded. I do my part to go “green” by leaving as much as possible in it’s natural state. When I do mow, all I really accomplish is to knock down the dandelions for a few days.

Maine – The Way Life Should Be (at least that’s what the sign says when you cross over from NH!)

My dad always called cutting the grass “meeting the Frenchman” …and I learned to dread when I was old enough to meet that notorious frog named…….. “Moe DeLawn!”.

I’ve known him ever since,……. and I still dont like him. 🙂

Regards,

Rick

Praise be!

I can read Eric’s blog with the time I save!

Seriously, the time savings is great, instead of over two hours of cutting grass.

Of course, I think about all those folks who cut grass at Gettysburg all day long everyday all summer. Yikes!

Each year, we extend the garden in front of the house so the lawn is slowly disappearing. I’m all for xeriscaping. Just let it go wild.

does not agree, so we must mow. I wish the botanical geniuses would
develop a grass variety that would cease growing at, say, 4″.

I also hate the lawn. I also have three big dogs. My lot is smaller, but I completely sympathize with the land mines.

For all you guys who mow, please don’t tell me you also fertilize, or worst of all, allow Chem lawn to visit. All you do then is encourage the stuff to grow more…

Everyone I’ve tried just doesn’t do a good job so I did the reverse of Steve and went back to mowing and trimming myself. I don’t have dogs but I have a very large back yard with a 12-14% grade. Going on 69, the mowing task becomes more of a poor man’s stress test. So far, I haven’t caved in and bought a riding mower.

The lawn looks like I want it to look, I get sweaty and worn out once a week, and then I hike a lot to stay in shape for mowing the lawn. But if I wanted to be a prolific writer, I would find some way to unload the chores.
