A Formal Introduction to the Lawnmower

Well, after an extremely wet winter and then temperatures in the 70's and 80's the last couple of weeks the grass has sprung up to our ankles. You know what that means? Lawn mowing time!!!! (Boo...Hiss!) My Husband and I decided our Oldest is old enough to learn how to mow (he's 12). He was not so hot on the idea, but he didn't complain too much either. He doesn't realize that this is a skill that will come in handy in his life for the next 90 yrs!

At least it's a new mower and self-propelled to boot! If I can mow (and I usually do) he can do it! Maybe I will have to start paying him an allowance now....Bummer!
