Mowing the lawn

My shocked 4 y.o. has just rushed out of the house to witness an unheard of event in his life. His father is mowing the lawn! Now my husband isn't lazy, quite the opposite. However, in the last 4 1/2 years of our son's life he has not had a lawn to mow. All the grass we had in Tokyo (below) was easily managed with some grass clippers. My pleasure in it (besides not having to push the thing) is the wonderful smell of cut grass. It takes me right back to my childhood!
