I just finished doing the front lawn and I am bushed! Now relaxing here. It was very hot there and I think I overdid it. Do you cut your own lawn or do you hire someone to do it?

I don't personally do it, I just get my husband to do it for me. It's not that I am lazy, it's more a case of I don't want to do it lol

I can only mow the front before my hip gives out.

@jstory07 Sometimes we just can't do this stuff.

Well currently, we are living in a Motel. So, no mowing necessary. We are waiting on an apartment to come available in the complex we applied for. When we get there, there will also be no need to mow as the complex keeps their property landscaped themselves. However, in the previously place we were living, my boyfriend mowed our lawn. We didn't have the funds to hire anyone, plus he loves landscaping and preferred doing it himself. He says it's therapeutic in a way.

@marlina My boyfriend says it gives him a chance to be alone with his thoughts while doing something he loves, landscaping.

It is extremely therapeutic to me.

The landlord used to mow the lawn, then the downstairs tenant started doing it. I don't know why unless they have an agreement. I mowed the lawn often enough growing up, I don't care to do it now.

I love cutting my own lawn, whether I am using a push mower or a rider. We can't afford to have someone cut it, but if we did, I probably wouldn't hire anyone, because I find it relaxing and a good time to brainstorm ideas for my writing.

It has been many years since I have had a lawn to mow. I really kind of miss it.

I mow our lawn, every week in spring and summer. It's a hard work, but hiring someone to do the job is pretty expensive.

well kind of, my 16 year old son mows it, so I do not have to pay anybody.

I cut it myself, but I like to do it in the evening when the day is cooler and the grass is dry but not in danger of being scorched by the sun. I have a lot of area to cover, around the fields, around the barn, and all over. Sometimes I move areas across the stream between the trees in the tree lots. But most of the time it's the lawns and around the fields. I use a diesel powered zero-turn, so it's rather easy and the chair is pretty comfy too. I only need to use my arms.
