This is how I mow. I pour a cup of coffee, sit down at my desk once a month and write a check to the lawn service.
To me YARD, LAWN, and IRON are honorary obscenities. 
After my husband died, I mowed, 2 or 3 times. Gas powered, self propelled mower. Enough of that nonsense.
I will give up a few latte's a month to pay for it.
