Lessons

Today, I bought myself a cute little electric lawn mower and mowed my (tiny) lawn for the first time.

I learned the following:
  • My neighbors apparently enjoy the spectacle of me not having any clue what I'm doing. They especially liked the part where the mower kept coming unplugged and I kept having to run over to the garage to fix it.
  • Ants are too small to be killed by a lawn mower, and will retaliate if you mow over their pile (Felix, I should have learned from your comment)
  • No matter how hot it is, pants should be worn around a weedeater.
  • Weedeaters can take out an entire bush in a few seconds, despite the fact that you were totally not even close
  • Edging is for people who have nothing better to do
