Mowing on vacation
Day 42 - July 22
When we arrived in Nashville at my brother’s house I noticed his lawn was a little long. Well, maybe Ryan noticed and mentioned it, but either way it was ready for a cut. I decided to serve my brother today by cutting his lawn. It was actually a pretty nice morning for the task - not too hot, not too sunny and I even had a slight breeze blowing. It is funny how drastically different their grass is from our own in Oklahoma. I got out about five trash bags expecting to use every one of them for the grass clippings - pretty normal for a cut at our house. I didn’t even fill an entire bag when I was done. This grass grows crazy and not very dense. So it turns out it was an easy gesture that I hope will make my brother’s day a little easier. My sister-in-law was giving us a hard time (because Ryan mentioned edging the grass when I was done cutting) and I guess since we’re on vacation it might be a strange thing to get out of bed and do. But since I’ve been serving people everyday, it comes so naturally to seek out those opportunities. It just doesn’t seem all that weird anymore. Besides, I sweat and worked hard enough I can avoid the gym for one more day. Works for me.
