| Sweeping cut grass and leaves |
We don't exactly have a lawnmower here, but we do have grass that needs to be cut regularly. How does that work, you might wonder. What we have in place of a machine is a piece of metal about three feet long that is bent a bit for its last six inches. Those six inches are sharpened and voila! A lawnmower! Cutting grass with this implement is a bit beyond our skill set, so we hire someone to come to our house every couple weeks to whack it all down for us.
Since the grass is not tidily collected in a lawnmower bag, Andrew does this part of the task. With a broom made of stiff dried grass and a stick for a handle, he sweeps our yard to collect all the cut grass and leaves that have fallen off our trees. It's quite the task, but our yard looks very nice afterwards!
Excellent display of resourcefulness right there! It just goes to show that you don’t exactly need a lawnmower to keep your lawn spic and span per se; you just have to be dedicated enough. And let me just say, the way you designed your makeshift mower is simply ingenious. Bravo!
