Lawn Mower

Quick! Think of associations for this word……Lawn Mower….ok…grass, hot weather, fresh cut grass smell, summer, tall ice teas, beer, sweat, weeds. Hmmm…I didn’t hear the word cute in that collection. Here in Japan the lawn mowers are a little different. Small, narrow, tiny, in a word…..cute. Please note in the picture that my sandal is in front of it just for comparison. It took me well over an hour to “mow” the lawn and I had to dump that bag probably 8 times! In comparison, I probably could have used a regular lawn mower, finished the job in 15 min. and dumped the bag once. The problem ….real lawn mowers cost approximately 7 times as much…..
