I'm a Reel Lawn Mower!


Our landlord has graciously provided us with a lawn mower for the lawn out front. It is our neighbor's job to do it, but he has mysteriously disappeared and has been gone for a few weeks. So Mark and I have taken up the opportunity to do some yard work. However, there's only one small detail; the lawn mower looks like this:






















EEK! Has anyone else tried mowing a lawn with these things? It is quite the effort. No wonder everyone back in the day was so skinny. :) But there is something satisfying about being able to mow a lawn with it. I love it!

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. Tyler still hasn't developed his Holga film yet, I should just do it for him, but I don't know what I'm doing, I'd probably kill it. The Host is actually about aliens, which sounds kinda crazy, and it is kinda crazy, but I just love the way she writes. It makes you appreciate being human, and it's also a love story, which I just can resist. I'm not even half way done yet, it's pretty long, but really good so far. It just came out May 6, so there's probably a waiting list at the library (just a warning). Well, hope you're doing good!

Man, I just reread my post and I meant I just CAN'T resist a love story, sorry, I'm babysitting... it's a little distracting.

Candice!! Nice mower--Jake would be really proud of you! I am too of course, but that just appeals to him more. He's all about roughing it! Good luck with your lawn and I hope to see you soon!
