The One Thing Anyone Should Know About Mowing Lawns

Is that only half of it is actual mowing; the other half is finding creative solutions to obnoxious problems, such as low-hanging tree branches, dog poo, bugs, dog poo, intense daytime heat/humidity, dog poo, unrealistic deadlines, and dog poo.

On that note, I'm not wearing my shoes indoors until I've put them through HAZMAT-level decontamination procedures.

Now see, this is just exactly why my brother-in-law Steve keeps a extra pair of sneakers for just the purpose of mowing the lawn.

Then he takes them off and leaves them in the garage til the next time he mows.

As to the dog poo, I have to pick my dog's (as well as that of any other mutt that does their poo-biz in our yard) up whenever he (they) does that.

I use poo bags, of course.

(What, you thought I used my bare hands?! Never in a million years, bub!)

Definitely a good idea.

As do I; or rather, a pooper-scooper and a grocery bag with a bucket. Same thing, really. The problems come in when I don't see it hiding in the tall grass until I've stepped in it.

And that's true, on all counts.
