    DH does ours unless we are on holiday. He is meticulous and kind of a control freak about it...

    I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don't have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, or, uh, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future. For our children.

    If I had the extra money, I would hire it out. Hate HATE HATE yard work. Loathe it. Despise it.

    @SomebodyWakeUpHIcks That is true, I get to walk past Westminster Bridge every morning past all the tourists taking their holiday snaps and remember how lucky I am that this is my daily life.

    I had someone mowing my lawn when I was very busy with work, but I prefer doing it myself, so I let him go and I enjoy listening to good music while trimming the bushes and mowing the lawn

    I enjoy spending the afternoon working in the yard. Spent the last 27 years getting it landscaped the way I like it. A few years ago I put drip lines on all my hanging baskets and sprinklers on all my herb gardens and flower gardens. Lasted about 1 month before I ripped them all out. I realized that the 45 minutes or so I spend in the yard each night watering was therapeutic. It's how I put the work day behind and managed to relax. I have a bar on my back deck. A humidor. And a iPod player going whenever I am out there.

    I do my own when I have time, If i don't have time it gets long and I have to use the Bagger. And that means several more trips out to the dump pile. The longer it is the more often I make the trip......Note most of it is done with a rider, small areas are done with a push mower that is not self propelled.

    We were just there 2 weekends ago. So. Many. Tourists. (Including us, I know--but do all of the crowds drive you crazy sometimes?)
