I used to enjoy mowing the lawn back when I was a teenager.
This was during the era of IPODs and you could easily put on music and zone out the entire time.
I hate to admit it, but back then my friends I would download music for free from the internet and listen to it on our computers and MP3 players. I had entire discographies of my favorite artists and musicians at my fingertips with a small little digital device. This was a few years before smartphones and apps like Spotify where you can listen to albums indefinitely until you die from old age. But during the lawn mowing, I often had downtime to listen to music I might have otherwise never heard. Nowadays I can’t be bothered with mowing my own lawn, regardless of whether or not I listen to music while I do it. My job is busy and I can’t be bothered doing landscaping work and design while I’m at home and trying to relax from a long day at work. Thankfully my neighbor recommended an amazing landscaping service that he uses for his large yard. He said that they’re really good about mowing around his large vinyl fence without leaving weeds behind. I have an aluminum fence where I struggle to get all of the weeds without breaking the plastic blade on my gas powered weed whacker. Calling a landscaping service to mow my lawn takes a huge chunk of stress out of my otherwise overly busy life. I wish everyone could afford to hire a landscaping service to tend to their yards, because it’s a huge convenience for busy people like myself.
