Default Mowing lawns

I mowed my lawns about 1/2hr ago .. I can now hear more lawnmowers going (my neighbors) ... talk about keeping up with the Jones's, what is that all about??

Is lawn mowing as infectious as yawning?? Or do people really care that much if their lawn looks less freshly cut than mine?!?!

I might go do some topiary on my front bush* later and see what they do then ...





*font bush {sniggers}

I think you and your neighbours should get jobs

Only joking lol.

A row of messy lawn doesnt look bad, but when one person cuts theres, people realise it look much nicer so do theres also.

Mine were done yesterday.

they get done whenever I can. With this weather it is a lottery. I go into war with the weeds/moss every year and loose.

Front looks good. But having a dog makes the back a bit patchy

I can tell you're a southerner. In our neck of the woods, you 'cut the grass' rather than 'mow the lawn'

You have far too much time on your hands. Go get a job

You have a very good point, definitely 'cut the grass' where I come from

I didn't cut the grass or mow the lawn. Today, I went out and shaved the hedges!

Couple of close ones on the tight lanes around Slaidburn where the foliage is a bit overgrown!
