I am not going to lie, I love mowing my 3/4 acre yard. I do some great thinking while I'm out there sweating like a Cambodian prisoner. I believe if every Head of State/Country, mowed their lawns, great things could happen. I solve all my issues, right wrongs in others lives, heck, I can even figure out the square root of Pi, all while mowing. The solace I get once I put in my ear plugs, slap on my yard gloves, it's pure heaven. Really. When I was living at home with the "units", doing lawn work was on the lowest of the low of fun things to do. I have two sons, and if I paid them, or threatened their life, they would mow it, but I like the exercise, the sense of accomplishment I get from pushing that mower around. It takes me about 1.5 hours, but it can't be beat. I focus on my task and then think of how to solve the worlds problems. On a really hot & sticky day, you can feel like you are cheating death by heart attack. Push yourself to see how much sweat you can lose, or how many more rows you can do before you take a drink. Sometimes, I can almost hear Death breathing on my neck. But I win everytime. So would you all!
