Back yard is huge, I don't do that. I use a riding mower out front. She doesn't like me doing too much, always says let the kids do it. But, I've always enjoyed cuttin' grass, so I do the front yard. Cutting grass is very relaxing, for me. DD1, DD2 and their spouses take care of all the rest. SIL uses the tractor on the grass along both sides of the driveway leading out to the road. It's a long stretch.
Back in the city when I was a youngster I used to do a few of the neighbors lawns. Got paid $1 - $2 bucks for each lawn. Used an old fashioned push mower in those days. LOL. I refused any money from our next door neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Pulzin. They always brought me back really cool looking conch shells and other shells from their Florida trips. Mrs. Pulzin was always baking something good!!! Mr. Pulzin was always teaching me cool stuff. They used to share really cool stories from their younger days in Poland and then in NYC when they came over. Like so many of the Old Timers, I really miss them a lot. Still have some old B&W photos taken with them.
And, I still have a few of the shells. This is the first conch shell they gave me.

I was like 6 or 7 when they gave that one to me. For a young kid, it was like a treasure!!! Set a squonker next to it to give ya an idea of it's size.
