Do you have any special memories about raking or burning leaves or mowing the lawn?

Wow do I ever, well maybe not special but very memorable. We did not own a power lawn mower until I was in High School. All of the mowing of the lawn was done with a push mower where the blades turned because of the wheel turning and they were ones that swept against a bar and trapped the grass between the bar and the blade to cut the grass. They were not easy to push and all of you have seen the size of the yard where I grew up. It took hours to mow. However I did like mowing better after we got a gas powered mower than I did weeding the garden so I systematically mowed more and more area so that it would grow into grass and not be available for garden space. It is that size now since Stan moved the garden area out into the field below the barn when he moved into the house.
