    Yes, I do the yard work. I love to be outside. I'd rather do that than clean or do the dishes!!

    I'm so used to euphuisms around here that I am actually surprised when a thread is actually about what the title indicates

    Ummm...yeah. My mind was all prepared for something else! Bummer...

    Back when I lived in Arizona, I always cut our lawn. Even when it was 115 degrees out. Never bothered me, especially since I had a pool to jump in after. When we moved to Florida we didn't take our mower and now have landscapers. I must say, I kinda miss it! (PS I would never let the hubby do it, I am too OCD and he would always miss spots LOL)

    I lived in New York Long Island and I really didn't cut the lawn. But I also live in Florida now and I love it. We spent most of our day cutting the lawn and hubby weed wacking. I always told my husband can you teach me how to weed wack? I can't get enough cause there are always spots that are missed and not done that bother me. Where do you live at in Florida?

    It is my favorite chore! It is about an 8 hour bi weekly job being i live on about 12ish plus mowed acres. I get to ride on a big international tractor, get a great tan, have a couple of drinks, and relax to the drone of a motor :)

    Thinking about it, it may be one of my favorite parts of summer.

    My wife does all the yard work when it comes to grass and plants and stuff. She loves it, which is good, because I hate doing it. We both hate shoveling snow, but only I get stuck with that. :sad: I does make a nice extra workout (or in lieu of) though.

    For the innuendo, I have to mow the lawn but I don't mind and I don't log it as calories, even though it requires some gymnastics moves to get all the spots.

    For the real lawn, I share the mowing with my husband. We mow 3.5 acres on a Craftsman rider with a 48" cutting deck. I have logged it in the past as half the calories offered for the 2.5-3 hr mowing session, but that's because I was getting on and off all the time to clear tree limbs, toys, and farm equipment out of my way. I enjoy it. I put on my earbuds, grab a jug of water, and putt along on the mower. I get a great tan and scare the ol farmers that like to tool along the back roads at 20mph, cause I'm rocking a sports bra and shorts and not much else!

    :noway: I do not mow the lawn. Ever. Not only do I hate it, but there isn't enough antihistamine in the world to protect me from a major attack of allergies when I'm near cut grass. Now give me a load of rocks or dirt to shovel and I'm ecstatic.:bigsmile:
