 |  Subject: Yard Work  Mon Jul 02, 2007 2:53 pm | |
| My wife for some reason, loves to work in the yard. I do not, at all.
Do other people love to do yardwork, or is it just mostly women?
This weekend, I had to walk home from church with our son (who was riding his bike), about 2 miles (it's a long story).
By the time I got home, hot and sweaty, my wife was mowing the back yard. I asked her if she wanted me to do that for her, and she said "No I need you to fix the edge trimmer..etc" but she said I could mow the front yard.
Now I don't like yard work, but I am more than willing to mow my own lawn on a regular basis. So I finished all that stuff, and I figured she would come inside.
No, since I was finishing the mowing she decided to move landscaping rocks from one part of our lawn to another. So not wanting to appear too lazy, I offered to help with that too.
Before I knew I had nearly half the day doing yardwork! Yuck!

Yes, I'm very happy to live in a part of the country where it seldom reaches the 90's (4-6 days a year tops usually). But I don't care what the temp/weather is like. I don't want to have to do yard work.  --

| I have been threatening for years to have someone pave my yard and paint it green. Holly & I should buy a condo so we have no yard to worry about. Not only do I not like doing yardwork, I don't really like being outside. I don't care for the heat & humidity in the summer, and in the winter it's too cold. In spring & fall, my allergies give me fits even after years of shots for that. So, I prefer the air conditioned/heated comfort of indoors!
But, I don't like doing housework, either! OK, I'm a lazy bum! I admitted it.

| When I have the mood and that's not often I like to do yard work.
Since we have much rain here for some weeks the weed is growing so hard that it takes a lot of time to remove it.
I like it to buy plants for the yard.
I don't have to mow the lawn.
But I love the smell of fresh mowed lawn. | |

| So it looks like Alldat and I are the only ones who don't like working in our yards (I don't mind doing house work, but not all day). - alldatndensum wrote:

| I just mowed the grass and used the Weed Eater. I hate doing it, but I am always glad to get back under the air condition where this cave dweller belongs. If God had intended for me to be outside, He wouldn't have given me an inside! _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

Maybe you should move to the SW where it's warm/hot and dry and lawns are dirt?

I'll do it tomorrow. Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow....or the next day...or next week/month/year. | |

| Think of it this way, Yvonne. If you don't cut the weeds, you will attract snakes who will eat those frogs. But, you'll still have the snakes! _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

That might be fun, but instead of weeds you would just have the danger of getting poo thrown at you from the monkies, or mabey even rabies.
