I am low on ideas for this series, but I have one or two good ideas left. I guess when this Summer series is over I'll begin work on my baseball series. But if you, dear reader, have any suggestions for more Summer installments, please let me know!
Reason Twenty-Two: Mowing the Lawn.
David, Mowing the Lawn is work. You have to work outside in the heat during the Summer. You can't possibly expect me to believe that Mowing the Lawn is a good reason to celebrate Summer. I'm not that dumb.
But Mowing the Lawn is so rewarding! You can see what needs to be done before you begin the task and you can look back at what you accomplished when you are done!
David, be reasonable. You have to haul the heavy mower out of storage and make sure it's clean enough to even run. You have to spend money to put gas in it. You have to check the oil and the air filter. And then you have to throw your entire shoulder out in the process of starting it. Mowing the Lawn is not a reason to celebrate Summer.
But think of all the benefits! 1) Cardio. Everybody can use a good cardio workout now and then. And Mowing the Lawn combines arms, legs, and back muscles in a workout that is productive and profitable. 2) The result. Your lawn looks nice and cared for, unlike neighbor Steve next door who own three lawn mowers that all seem to have a critical engine piece missing. 3) The avenue to teach. Once your kids get old enough you can teach them to mow the lawn and they will learn good work ethics and excellent habits.
David, all these reasons seem good but I'm still not convinced.
Have you ever stepped outside after that grass is cut? You smell the life of Summer in the air. The air smells almost alive in a way. The bright shades of green make pretty patterns on the front lawn and you can almost see the market value on your home increasing.
Plus, after you get done, you can go to Sonic and get an ice cold Cherry Limeade and then sit in a lawn chair and look at your beautiful lawn.
*sip*
Here's to Summer.
