Our girls might grumble about the work we make them do, but it always seems that when we are working right along beside them, they might grumble a little less. This is Amy's first year experiencing the magic of mowing. The "magic" is in the muscle power required to push the "self"-propelled lawn mower. It takes a lot of effort to mow our lawn with its inclines. I should know, I did it once.
These are times when you think, "Someday they'll thank us..." I believe they will...someday.
By the way, that weedy patch of rocks and unique sand-pile landscape you see in the picture with Amy, that's not our yard. Just needed to clarify.
