I’m going to start out by giving you a bit of homework so this blog post will make sense to you.
If you have not read my blog post about the eight types of mowing, your homework—as in do it right now—is to read it.
For this who have read it, remember the eight types of mowing?
In summary, they are: 1) mow-crastinating, 2) mow-voidance mowing, 3)mow-ditation mowing, 4)mow-dering, 5) anticimowtory mowing, 6) mowpathy mowing, 7) mowercizing, and 8) mowgrudgingly mowing,
Yesterday while mowing—excuse me, while mow-ditation mowing, and quite frankling sweating while doing it, so I was also mowercizing—I realized I was also doing another type of mowing, heretofor not yet named!
(Yes, those of who are experienced at mowing our lawns can combine several types of mowing to do at the same time, but I recommend this for only highly experienced people.)
The new type of mowing that I was doing is mow-miniscing, which is what you are doing when you reminisce as you mow.
Which I was doing yesterday!
I was thinking about how when I was a kid, I don’t think I minded mowing the lawn. At least I don’t think I did. I certainly don’t now!
In honor of my mow-miniscing, I dug through a bunch of boxes and came up with a picture of the backyard when I was a kid and likely, hopefully, took my share of turns mowing it. I would guess that picture is from the early 1970s.
I hope you share in my excitement of this ninth type of mowing being named.
I am also hoping with that as I continue to mow, I’ll soon determine a tenth type of mowing, because ten is a nice round number, though wouldn’t 12 be better?
I’ll go ponder on that when next I mow. Excuse me! I mean I will mow-der on that, and see what comes to mind.
