My grandmother mowed her own lawn (front *and* back) until she was in her
upper eighties. Anytime someone would offer to do it for her, she would
say she needed the exercise.

That is why I haven't broken down and bought a riding mower, as much as I
would love one, and can easily afford it. I really do need the exercise of
pushing that thing around. Unlike shoveling snow, mowing doesn't trash my
back for a day or two.

As do I ...I love mowing the lawn with a push mower and need the
exercise..About 2 acres worth..LOL.....It also does a MUCH better job
IMHO...We also have a lot of trees , gardens , hills ect. so it's not ALL
lawn..My dad's snowblower is a newer Craftsman 18HP with dual wheels that
turns really easy with power steering..Boy don't it really throw the
snow...LOL...
