Mowing the lawn the old-fashioned way


Have you seen one of these before?  I only have seen a couple in my life.  It's a push reel mower.  You push it, the blades spin, and the grass gets cut.  Simple, no?  We got this mower off of Craigslist for $60, and we will never ever have to buy gas for it!  Lawn mowers are notoriously bad polluters because there are fewer regulations for lawnmowers than for cars.  For our 0.21 acre lot, it works just fine!

As an added bonus, it is amazing exercise.  It was pretty challenging the first time, actually.  That might be because I painted, packed, cleaned, and moved on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  It also might be because the lawn really should have been mowed a few weeks ago so it was kind of long in a few areas.  It got done though!

Happy Spring to everybody!  May your lawn mowing be equally fulfilling!
