I'm not much of a workaholic, I don't really like going outside or getting my hands dirty...

But mowing the lawn is nice. It's like doing a giant coloring page with a big thick marker.

The past couple of years I've lived in a place with no lawn to mow and I miss it.

Niceness of lawn mowing is very climate dependent. Around 70 degrees I don’t mind it. Different story when it’s 98.

Unenjoyable, and my electric motor’s batteries die twice as fast in the heat, so I have to do it two days in a row instead of being able to get it over with. But I don’t hate it quite enough to blow hundreds of dollars on extra batteries or to pay someone else to do it.
