I look for common themes when I browse through posts by local bloggers. These two posts on lawn mowing caught my attention:

I mowed the lawn this morning with a mulching mower. So now the dog's running around with little green paws. It's so cute. :D

A day in the life of Amanda! I'll tell ya! I got a little crafting in, and a little baking, and I RAN OVER A SNAKE WITH A LAWN MOWER!

And in our own OlyBlog archives read stevenl's long entry written to avoid mowing his lawn: The Link-Crazy Freewriting News

Need to mow your lawn? Tomorrow, Friday, appears to be the day to do it.

Got mowing stories? Remember to give our local bloggers some attention too.

Not a "story" but..

Unless you've got a really huge lawn, I do recommend buying a push-mower. Cheaper, no pollution (noise or fumes) and you get more exercise..
