My Early Father's Day Present!

13 years ago

I've been working in the yard all day. Came in for a break. A BEAUTIFUL day! Carol bought me an early Father's Day present. A Scott's Classic push reel mower. I LOVE IT! It's so quiet, and I'm being GREEN!!! :o) Took a half hour longer than usual but what GREAT exercise! (Maybe it will help me drop a few pounds! LOL) I've been wanting one for quite awhile! THANK YOU, CAROL!

Bear Hugs! Kirk

WOW! You'll be having to change your name to "Slim Jim!" LOL! What a wonderful, thoughtful gift (altho, Kirk, FD is 5 wks away!) DH & I had 2 little girls (& their Mom) buy a Mission birdhse from us today at Farmer's Mrkt. & a photo card to go with it. Mom kept telling them they'd have to keep it a secret til Father's Day! Mmmmmmmm!!! Sweet! Enjoy your new exerciser! (& great to hear you can work in the yard)...beautiful couple days here, too! TFS! Jeanne s.

I remember one year my mother's lawn got ridiculously long due to ideal weather conditions and a nephew who wasn't moving it like he should. By the time I got over to her house to mow it, the grass was about a foot long. The gas mower wouldn't touch it. I'd get a few inches and it would die. So I got out her old trusty reel mower, took a running head start and got that hay field mowed down! lol! They are reliable, non-polluting and require almost no maintenance. Plus they have a very pleasant sound. Great choice in gifts, Carol!

I haven't seen a reel mower for sale around here in a long time.
Of course, I haven't REALLY looked for one either-LOL

Glad you can enjoy mowing the grass now! Hope there's someone around your area to sharpen them for you...that's always a problem in our area.

Way to go Carol! I'm glad you love it Kirk! I remember mowing the lawn with one of those when I was a teenager. Dad had a riding mower but we had moved to a tiny lot and it was too big to use. I loved mowing the lawn with with the push reel mower. I have seriously been planning to buy a new one for the kids to use. We have been fighting with the gas mower since right after we bought it. Every time it is time to use it, it won't start or stay running. The reel mower will always start as long as you eat a good breakfast!

Glad you like your Father's Day gift!
