Ben by Daniel Shelton for April 23, 2020

Okay, he had his annual dose of spring loving yesterday under the covers, now it’s time to mow the yard, he’ll be ready again by fall!

I hate mowing the lawn, so I don’t understand why men want to (my husband won’t do it.)

And in winter does an old man’s fancy turn to thoughts of snowblowers? I KNOW it isn’t shovels!

I guess I must be getting younger because there’s nothing about lawn care that I love.

I hope I never get to the point where I’m gazing longingly with love in my eyes at my lawn mower in preparation for another few months

of lawn mowing

he’s insane. No sane person loves cutting the grass. Ugh.

he should have corrected it to say, “AN older man’s fancy…” instead of “A older man’s fancy…”

This time of the year, it’s not the lawn he’s mowing, but daffodils.

71 and I live in a wooded area. My front yard is nothing but trees. and that’s the way I like it.

I’m old and have atrial fibrillation, to MY thoughts turn to the pros I hire to do the mowing.

Ben you need older grandkids to come over and help. My dad had me but I had to use the old fashioned kind till I got older and I could use the regular type. However, I got so used to the old fashioned one I liked that best for the front yard. Now the back yard was a lot bigger and flat so I would use the regular lawn mower.

Almost no grass in front of house – and what there is the next door’s neighbor gardener mows as it is a small slice off of theirs. Backyard has been going downhill the last several years as it 1- gets too hard for husband to do and 2- has been taken over by poison ivy – small trees are starting to grow and we can’t afford the hundreds of dollars gardeners want to come and mow – and they insist on putting down things to help the grass grow – just want it mowed.
