cunning plan

Mowing the lawn is one of the tasks that wears me down more than others as it requires preparation (clearing debris in the back)- I can't just do it when I find a spare five mins. It's also weather dependant and seemingly endless, as soon as I've done it and feel momentary satisfaction, I blink and it looks like it needs doing again. Last night whilst searching in the garage for large cardboard to make a canoe, I thought I'll just mow the front lawn whilst I'm at it, and in moments it was done. And so, my cunning plan to make my life easier is this. The front lawn is actually very do-able. It's the back and side strips that are harder. The trampoline we put up on Christmas eve has reduced the grass surface area I can reach at the side of the house. And I have just bought a massive swimming pool that will take up most of the back. I win "top mum" marks for a short while, AND I am rapidly running out of blades I need to mow - genius!
