Mowing is more fun when it allows for some creativity.

Archimedean spiral in my lawn

    You are having far too much fun being a gentleman farmer. Where’s the blood, sweat and tears?

  2. Emily Barton Says:

    I agree with Tai. This is wonderful. May I come over and play?

  3. mandarine Says:

    Tai, you are absolutely right. I am having a lot of fun. There is hardly any blood (I make sure I wear the right protections when I wield sharp tools), but there is a lot of sweat. The tears are those of my son when I say I have to stop chasing him in the spiral because a. I am dizzy, and b. I have to plant the comfrey roots before they dry in the sun.

    Emily, of course you are welcome any time. You can also find a willing lawn closer to you which wants to have its own Maori-warrior tattoo.

    I bet someone flying over your lawn will think an UFO has just landed here!

  5. mandarine Says:

    Indeed. And the underside of the flying saucer looked exactly like a bright-red glass-ceramic halogen stove.

    You’ve seen a UFO? I thought they only made those crop circle things when nobody was looking. I think crop cricles are made by rouge bands of wood-fairies (who have day jobs as tour guides and quasi-journalists!).

  7. mandarine Says:

    Well I have not seen them myself, but I know someone who met the blind lady who heard the flying saucer land, and she says it was a large red halogen stove, with the buzzing sound of a 230V voltage converter.

    Coolio!
    Right now asking my husband to try one in our back yard

    I am looking forward to seeing the picture in flickr. Let’s start a world fashion of mowing patterns into our lawns.
