My Husband's a Lucky Man
Because I love to mow the lawn!!! I grew up never mowing the lawn but in my years of home ownership I have become obsessed with this duty. Today was the first day it really needed it after the LONG winter and I forgot just how much I enjoy it - the smell of freshly cut grass, the aroma of mint (planted long ago from Mema's stash at One Devondale), the chirping of birds, the beautiful pinkish sky, the smell of gasoline (is that just me? I did eat chalk while pregnant, so I don't know - and for those of you who didn't know that, perhaps I need a separate blog on that because I'm not weird, so I should explain it). Speaking of pregnant (not - I'm 45) but many years ago while I was mowing the lawn 7 months pregnant and not caring about that one bit, my BeBe pulled in the driveway as she often did and had a look of shame on you on her face. Pregnant ladies did not mow the lawn in her day. The man of the house did that. I do remind that man how lucky he is that he married someone who allows him to just cross that to do off his list.

i just got done, well matt helped and it is very small and we do it with a weedwhip but i was just going to post the same thing about spring! sometimes things are just theraputic, i feel that way about cutting veggies!
Kay. First off.. when you mention you're 45 it FREAKS me out. No you're not. You're 19 years old with long blonde hair and plaid pants from Papagallo.
Next.. I love that you just gave me a good visual of the BB. I so know her "Now no-no-no" look.
I'm keeping your away from my husband. He doesn't know women like you exist...and I'm not telling him. You ARE a dreamy wife!
Now I'm having beautiful visions of springtime in SL...and cute you mowing the lawn while T puts his feet up and relaxes with some lemonade... could you perhaps snag him a sprig of mint for his drink while you're at it? Thanks, toots.
I love mowing the lawn too. It is a feeling of tidiness and accomplishment...and no one can mess it up during the week. I have mowed many a lawn while pregnant as well...good times, good times.
thanks for the st. louis reminder it is harder when you are trying to think of them, i tagged you and redid it!
