the whole GREEN LIVING movement doesnt really support the big lawn thinger anymore. lawn : man's chores, garden : woman's chores .... so why not turn your lawn to a garden its great for the environment!

Actually, my lawn is pretty GREEN at the moment - plenty of TLC from me (a woman).

Okay, okay, I do pay a man to actually mow the lawn, but I take care of keeping it green, even in this drought. AND I tend to the garden. Wow - now I feel like breaking out into a Helen Reddy song, or was it Peggy Lee? Whatever, it was in an old commercial for Enjoli.

If you can high-5 your neighbors on lots of that size, it sounds like a McMansion neighborhood.
I have to laugh at this, coming from suburban Philadelphia where my neighbors think my half acre lot is teeny tiny...but hey, less grass to mow, right?
