Do you mow your own yard?

I mow my own. After having several years of renting and not having one, I enjoy yardwork.

What do you do?

After moving to Texas from Arizona - my grass of choice is <i>still</i> rock. Not the best thing for resale value here, though.

Yeah - I cut it myself. Never had any kids, so I'm stuck with the job.

Mow Your Own Way

by Farm and Fleetwood Mac

Mowing you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I
ever change things
That I feel

If I could
Maybe I'd fertilize your roots
How can I
When you won't take it from me

Do you mow your own yard
Mow your own yard
You can call me
Another lonely 'tard
Do you mow your own yard
Mow your own yard

Tell me why
Everything turned to brown
Giving up
Sprinkling's all you wanna do

If I could
Baby I'd give you my mulch
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can mow your own way
Mow your own way
You can call it
Another lonely hay
You can mow your own way
Mow your own way


(with apologies to Lindsey Buckingham)


oh and, I mow my own.

I mow, but then I have a very small lawn. Actually, I'm getting ready to till it up and sod a new one.

Yard? My "yard" consists of about a foot of grass behind the house, a small concrete lip, and then a loooooonnng drop down a sheer cliff to the back yard of the house below mine. And they're building a pool right below my bedroom window as we speak. Wheee!!

Nope. Someone else does it for me. I guess it's part of the rent. Quite convenient, really. Ah...laziness.

College apartment. When I'm at home though my parents gave up trying to get me to do it so they started hiring some people to do landscaping. Not much to landscape so it doesn't cost too much.

Yes, I do. A bunch of the folks in my neighborhood have yard/landscaping services - you never see them outdoors, working in the yard.
I would never do that. Working outdoors on yard and landscape stuff is great exercise and gets you out in nature. Some luxuries are better eschewed in favor of the DIY way.

I used to love to mow the yard, and be outside.
However after being stung over 100 times by a swarm of yellowjackets, and winding up in the hospital, I am now alergic to everything outside.
I still try once in a while......then suffer for the next week!!
I miss outside

When I'm home, yeah.............all 3 acres of it (it stretches out around our barns and all our other buildings). Let's just say our lawn mower is a bit bigger than your average ones.
