The other day I did something for the first time in my life... I mowed the lawn. It was interesting to say in the least. It was actually more tiring than I imagined, but that may have to do with the fact that it took me 15 minutes to turn on the mower.
We don't have a huge lawn at my house. It is rather small, but there are a lot of obstacles in the way. For example, we have three kumquat trees, two mini palm trees, a lamp post, three giant (I don't know what it is) tree, and an apricot tree. I seriously couldn't push the lawn mover around the trees.
Why didn't anyone ever mention to me how heavy a lawn mower was? Maybe it's because it's old, but my lawn mower wouldn't budge until I literally used all of my muscle strength.
You should of seen me trying to turn the mower on. You apparently have to pull on this string a million times until it starts on. I also did not realize that I had to pull on a lever while pulling the string, so I may have stared confusingly at the lawn mower for a 15 minutes until I decided to read the instructions. Hahaha.
It was an interesting chore. One that I do not really like, but I know I'm going to have start doing from now on. Maybe I'll be an expert real soon! :)
P.S. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
