The neighbors that are behind us always seem obsessed with their lawn. I really feel like they mow their lawn every other day just to keep it perfect. The cliché saying "the grass is always greener or the other side" fits them perfectly.
I'm an amateur lawn mower. I only mow when my parents ask me to. A couple days ago, Momsy said the lawn needed mowing again. It felt like it had only been a week since I mowed it. Whatever. I mowed it anyway. This time, however, I didn't do the boring vertical lines Popsy always does when he mows the lawn. I mowed it diagonally. (This was, of course, after I spent half an hour on YouTube watching videos of people "striping" their lawns.)
I didn't really think this would work, but it didn't turn out too bad. If you look really closely and squint your eyes a bit, you can kind of tell. I looked ridiculous trying to do this, but I think it was worth it. I'm also secretly hoping our neighbors see it. Maybe they'll be impressed. Yeah, probably not. I also got too excited and thought I somehow became a landscaper, so I also edged the sidewalks. The edging was actually really difficult and I do not plan to do that ever again. My arms and shoulders still feel funny. Boo.
According to one of Justin Bieber's songs, "...the grass ain't always greener on the other side; it's green where you water it." I like my lawn better than my neighbors. Even though there's absolutely nothing in it.
