Chores I don't like- yes- getting gas and going to the grocery store. Two things many do not see as chores but I do and I can't stand to do either. I would mow the lawn any day over getting gas and or going to the grocery.

But a push mower is probably worth it if you keep eliminating lawn all the time in the back.<br />Re: chores. I could do without the very heavy spring lifting: mulch bags, soil bags, getting heavy clay containers onto the deck. Now all I have is weeding and as long as it's not blistering hot or very buggy, I really don't mind. <br />Have a great weekend!Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208261869410640449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-19570177153426472352013-07-13T06:21:46.148-07:002013-07-13T06:21:46.148-07:00I hate getting rid of the weed, it always seem to ...I hate getting rid of the weed, it always seem to grow so fast! :-( Lovely flowers in this post!<br /><br />http://tinajoathome.com/tinajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107966080559159842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-84948827182962869422013-07-13T05:31:14.858-07:002013-07-13T05:31:14.858-07:00Right now it is weeding in the tropical heat and h...Right now it is weeding in the tropical heat and humidity when i cannot even get a dent in it...I used to use a hand mower when I was a kid..it was wood and iron and I could barely push it.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420133886162844400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-67094658550842877122013-07-13T05:16:49.134-07:002013-07-13T05:16:49.134-07:00Pauline, the front yard is all flowers.

(Is that any surprise since I hate cutting it?) Right now, the lawn is about half the original size. It takes me about an hour to cut the lawn including trimming. This summer's large rainfall has meant that I have been spending lots of hours cutting the lawn!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-72142571471074145092013-07-13T04:47:25.159-07:002013-07-13T04:47:25.159-07:00Cutting the grass is my dreaded task too.

Believe me it is worth the $40 per visit to keep my marriage intact and the lawn looking good.<br /><br />Used to have a little push mower for my city lot and loved it -even loved cutting the lawn when I could get it done in 20 minutes. Now that it's 2 hours to cut and trim the grass, I'm glad someone else is doing it. Even if I have to pay for it to get done - lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-48071183000369046732013-07-13T02:19:14.641-07:002013-07-13T02:19:14.641-07:00How big is your lawn, You mention that you had a p...How big is your lawn, You mention that you had a petrol driven one so that must mean it is quite large?

I have a dyson and it does have a good set of balls. My very first lawn mower was a brand new honda mower with all the bells and whistles. My husband was my boyfriend at the time and he couldn't believe I spent that much money on a mower. I told him a girl needs good power toys to get the job done. <br />I dislike dealing with animal presents and weeding little weeds.
