I was a landscaper for 8 years, so yard work always has that “has to be done” feeling for me. It’s hard to enjoy, since I’m not being paid $18 and hour to do it around the house. Plus the fact that now, I work on a farm...girlfriend wanted to plant the garden today and I was like...uh...no?

We have 1 1/2 acres. We really enjoy the gardening and such. I have had a bobcat, badger and fox right by the house. Lots of turkey and deer daily as well.
The neighbor had his family over the other night I waved at them and7A827F56-9DE0-4C1C-BE58-70F3E8187109.jpeg4D92ACB4-FC2E-4284-9FC9-E52B1BD8631A.jpegll, they waved back then I hit what must have been a boulder in the yard, made a sound like a plane caught in a trash compactor...I was dead in the water. So embarrassed I limped my new rider to the garage and fixed her up but I must have looked like a knucklehead lol.F4ADC4F8-D163-41B5-AAF9-F11032B7644B.jpeg

But then: it gives you an excuse to keep a close eye on them neighbors and report back on their activity!

I don't know, I've got 14 acres of hay to cut and bale 2 to 3 times a year on top of our vegetable garden which is about half an acre...not to mention my yard that I need to mow every week. I love getting out doors, hate being indoors, but I can think of a bunch of other things to do outdoors than yardwork...especially at my age!

Everyone who enjoys yard work is hereby invited to help me with mine in another month or so.

It's not a big yard but you can expect:

to burn yourself on anything made of metal

to encounter any number of black widows and other nasty things

instant dehydration

to go directly to melanoma, do not get a tan, do not collect $200
