I've got one last season of leaf-raking and possible snow-shoveling before I retire and am NOT going to miss either of those. However, I do think I'll miss mowing the lawn. I'm currently paying someone to mow the lawn on my house in The Villages (which I'm renting out) and that kind of goes against my grain. For the yearly price of that, I think I could buy a decent battery-powered mower and weed-whacker combo. I could bring down my current gas mower and whacker but I'd like to give up the noise and smell for a battery set. Of course, once I get there, I might well find that giving any up my precious fun time might be just too much to do and could end up continuing to pay a service. Only time will tell!
