I love to mow... it's more of a hobby than a drive to have a neat lawn. Probably that is true for those other lawns you see too.

That could well be true...but I still feel inadequate! The worst of it is...last year someone mowed my lawn FOR me a few times, and I never found out who it was. On the one hand, they could have just realized that I have trouble finding time and felt sorry for me...but on the other, it could be a neighbor I don't know as well who was embarrassed by my lawn being in their neighborhood. *blush*

Maybe you have a brownie :)

brownie, in Celtic folklore, household spirit associated with farmsteads. Brownies help with chores, but, if criticized, they will make mischief, such as spoiling crops. If payment other than food is offered a brownie, he vanishes from a farm forever.
