re: People that find yard work relaxing and exciting

Used to hate it as a kid. Not the cutting but the raking. We had huge pine trees and several oaks. Used to tell my mom, my dad died young, that to wait until the leaves all fell off and I would rake the yard. Well, pine needles shed, she busted my theory. Love it now although my yard is 1/3 size of what I grew up with. And I've cut down about 10 trees since moving in. The weeds in the grass are driving me nuts.
