Mowing the Lawn

Just a thought for the day. I don't mind mowing the lawn. It can actually be therapeutic at times. What I don't like about it, is that if I don't mow the lawn I will get a lawn ticket. Does the housing office really think that we are going to let our grass (I mean weeds) grow and grow. I think they would be pleasantly surprised that if they stopped that lawn ticket system, people's yards would still look nice (They would be saving tax-payer dollars too). Yes, the yard may not be mowed every 7 days, but really what lawn needs that. I also don't like that every time I go by a bush I am terrified that I am going to get swarmed by boonie bees and swell to the size of a watermelon. Knock on wood, I haven't been stung this week. Plus side of mowing the lawn. It saves us some $$ so I don't feel bad buying decor for the house. It is a little bit of a workout. And I get a little bit of sun at the same time. I am sure I could get a killer tan if I wore my bikini. But 1) don't think the neighbors would like seeing a pregnant lady in a bikini mowing the lawn. 2) my Dermatologist would be mad at me. I would blog a little more about mowing, but I have to wake up bright and early to finish. The "inspector" apparently makes the rounds around 7am...
