24 hour doctor service recommended by panel Is there anything funnier than the sight of a full grown man sitting in dignified splendor on a riding lawn mower half we struggle to remove the grass The aspects of nature that annoy our sense of order arc never ending This a grumbling column though because I love cut ting grass I d better we have two and half acres to mow I suppose it silly having so much to tidy and subdue around the house but we enjoy the sight of reasonably manicured space and t stand to cut up he front expanse with little fences So we started cutting the hay field that existed before and compromised by planting a large variety of huge trees Well they looked huge on the nursery lot they resemble twigs with three leaves now lhat they re safely established here A rose by any other It surprising what you can do a worn out hay Held We had that kind or lawn on all three of our farms If you look closely Its all broadleat weeds but once cut they produce a green carpet providing you don I mind straggly stems popping up untidily the day after cutting If we ever sprayed the dandelions there d be no lawn left Besides what Is nicer in Ma than a golden carpet all round the house If dandelions weren so prolific they be con a desirable bedding plantat great cost I very proud of my exotic tropical hibiscus but our Jamaican friends consider I m filling the house with weeds In England we had a lovely prized flower bed of golden rod Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and dan are beautiful walker This year I finally got my push mower hack Cutting the grass Is to me an Ideal way to sunbathe and get exercise at the same time It gives me an hour or two of uninterrupted thinking I love it It not easy for the kids to wrestle the mower away from me and because I like it so much they look upon it as fun mother keep to herself Two years ago the children and I went on a trip to Mon treal In May and Mack found himself cutting the grass When we came home there was a shiny new riding mower in the yard I Howlhated that thing To sit for hours being jounced all over the garden doing nothing more constructive steering was a total waste of time You couldn even get a decent tan all hunched over protecting your the shaking Erica was the only one who got a kick out of it She ran around in a eccentric circles and figure eights pruning little trees and curing my bush problem But she had a very small vote and lost Back to the push mower lithe muscular legs and an all over golden tan Well I can dream can Milton but not for a few would not be but the lax years
