I used to mow the lawn. But I have been known to run over sprinkler heads.
My front lawn and back lawn are putting greens. Would take half an hour tops to mow both lawns. I would jump in the pool, mow the front lawn in my bathing suit (not hot at all when sopping wet), jump in the pool again, and then mow the back lawn. Wasn't bad at all.
But I hate weeding and trimming shrubs. The yard guys do everything so inexpensively, why do it myself?
