"And yard work, don't forget the yard work!!"

I grew up in a rural, agricultural area, and the farmers there all regarded yard work as "women's work." They'd proudly purchase their wives the finest John Deere lawn tractor that money could buy, but their wives were the ones who used it.

I'll be workin' on my 'Deere' this weekend (yes,I can now change the belts!) Figured it out all by myself :)

And I'd way rather do yard work than housework-- yuk!

Yeah, I was just kidding. Around the farm in South Carolina the men call the yard, "[Insert wife's name here] garden"
