So, I finished the back and moved to do the front. I saw that Engine One Ladder truck was stopped on our street and found out that they had driven by and saw a whole bunch of kids on the street and took it upon themselves to stop the engine and let the kids explore the truck. A very kind-hearted gesture. Keith went out and said 'hi' as I don't think they knew we lived in the house they had parked in front of. Keith headed back inside as I started mowing and as I glanced up one of the fire fighters was taking a picture of me with his i-phone. I kept on mowing but was perturbed. Was he merely admiring our stunning rhododendron which is full of red blooms? Was he a creepy pervert? I was actually a bit annoyed at this point and eventually they drove off. After I was done mowing I told Keith about it. He didn't seem to think much of it and told me to let it go...because you know, his job is to calm me down when I freak out!
Tonight he came home from work and told me that they took a picture of me basically to mock out Keith for 'making his wife' mow the grass! Keith had to assure him that I ENJOY mowing the lawn and they couldn't believe it. They obviously have no idea what it's like to have a 'crazy-bee in the bonnet,Mennonite,energetic,bull in a china shop' sort of wife.
Too bad for them!

Good one. They can come back here and get a photo of your mother doing exactly the same thing for exactly the same reason.
Silly men. They probably secretly think you rock and that Keith is very lucky.
I have mowed the lawn many a time but have just as happily passed the job along to Ethan who adores it!
That's hilarious!
I used to enjoy mowing the lawn until I hurt my knee. Now, not so much.
