Our Lawn

Part of the headache (or joy) of owning a house is dealing with the lawn. I've always heard people complain about lawns and yardwork, but until I (or Alex) had to deal with it, I never thought much of it. The last weekend Alex and I spent a good afternoon outdoors taking care of our lawn.

In the one month that Alex was in California, the grass on our lawn has been growing as if it's on steroids. Originally we bought a manual push mower to mow the lawn since we really didn't have much grass. When Alex came back and noticed how tall our grass has grown, he decided that manually mowing this was just not going to work. It would take us weeks to complete the work, and by the time we're done, we would have to start all over again.

So we bought an gasoline powered mower. It's kind of funny that we're dealing with all of this right now. It almost feels like we are two kids playing house, pretending to be grown-ups. It still feels surreal sometimes that I own a house and I have to worry about things like the lawn, or weeds, or leaky roofs. I don't know when I will actually feel like a 100% adult, but I have not gotten there yet. Maybe when I turn 30 I will feel like one.

Never knew I had so much to say about lawn mowing. Enjoy the pictures!
