Oh, the annoying sounds of a lawnmower mowing somebody else’s lawn. . .
Oh, the sweet, gratifying sounds of a lawnmower mowing your own lawn. . .
Of course, this is the last time I’m hearing these sounds on my lawn because N gave me a long, impassioned speech on the horrible environmental consequences of all lawnmowers that use gasoline and bought a mechanical one he will operate manually. It’s not easy to live with somebody who is so much more environmentally conscious than I am. I have no idea where he gets it from. This is not natural for people from our culture, and he doesn’t watch television or read the press.
And by the way, can anybody guess which question about 80% of people ask me when I tell them I finally moved to the new house?
