Lawnmowers


I live in Japan.
I rent a house.
One of the main reasons for renting it was it has a bit of grass in the front.
It's not a big lawn: I'm sure most splatter zones on C.S.I are bigger.
But I'm happy.

Grass is a luxury for many in Japan.

It turns brown in the winter, which isn't what grass does in Canada.
But for 7 months of the year it's green and looks good.

I was so happy about the grass that I bought a lawnmower!
It looks like it's made out of Lego, and it only cuts a strip about 10cm wide (4inches).
Possibly a large dandelion could give it problems.

But I just like the fact that I have grass and a lawnmower, and most people don't.

At the moment my grass is still brown, but I'm waiting.
