Pace on Earth

Lawn Boy

This is the fortune I got in my fortune cookie from my chinese fast food mistake today at lunch: Your act of kindness will warm another's soul

So I'm not sure if fortunes can be applied retroactively and I'm even less sure that mowing your own lawn can be seen as an act of kindness, but I am sure that mowing my lawn on Monday warmed my neighbours' souls. It was the first time I mowed the lawn this year and it was looking like my lawn gromming habits matched my current face grooming habits. My neighbour actually told me that she was about a day away from sticking a picture of a mower on my door just to make sure I knew what one looked like. I did, and I even found one that worked.

The strange thing about this was that it was actually the first time I felt some sense of pride mowing a lawn. It was the first time I mowed it since I bought the house and cleaning up my yard was waaaayyyy more satisfying than cleaning up the yard on George St. Interesting; it never felt that way when I cleaned the toilet.

And thanks to this picture I have a new name for my lawnmower - the Tas-MOW-nian devil....who knew there was a lawnmower racing circuit. God Bless America.

Pace out.
