So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

All About Lawn Mowers

By Gregory Paul

An eye catching lawn is a status symbol for many homeowners. Households compete for the best looking lawn in the block secretly. Probably because a well kept lawn does reflect a well kept house and a well kept household. A lawn says a lot about its owners. Many homeowners are quite picky with their choice of lawn mower. After all the care of the right lawn mower is the secret to a perfect lawn.

For our various needs, there are numerous types of mowers to suit us. Gas powered machines, be it self propelled or push type is perfect for huge lawns with high demands. Electric powered lawns suit the smaller greens. Of course there is the ever dependable manual reel lawn mower.

The gas powered lawn mower is able to do a lot of things for you. It can mulch, some have side discharge, and some have bag clippings. There are some rave reviews about particular models that have recoil starts. Accordingly, it fires up on the first pull almost every time. This gas powered equipment can also accommodate huge demands for huge lawns. The drawback for this type is that like any gas powered machine, it has issues on environmental concerns. Many gas powered lawn mowers though, have passed the emission standard laws. Furthermore, some of these equipment require adjusting all four wheels when changing the cutting height.

The electric powered lawn mower is another option. Compared to its gas powered relatives, these variants are a lot quieter and is almost maintenance free. Many of these types are cord free. There are those that can be bought with solar powered batteries but those can be really expensive. All solar charged lawn mowers use lead batteries and you need to replace them every two years or so. Proper disposal is a must as it could have environmental issues. The maximum acreage per charge is a quarter of an acre and if you don't have the cordless type, the longest cord that i have known of is only a hundred feet.

The ultimate in quiet and economical would be the manual reel type lawn mower. It is most easy on the budget and requires the least maintenance. These very environment friendly devices however, are only good for small, flat, and weed free lawns.

Lawn mowers are as diverse as our taste. When searching for a lawn mower, you have to consider several factors. At the moment, the trend is going environmental. People seem to go for those machines that provide the least harm to nature - the greener, the better. Other considerations would also be lawn size. The size of your yard determines the power demand of your lawn mower. The type of grass and the weather also gives you an idea to the type of equipment to look for. Different lawns also have different obstacles, and different terrain; another area to consider.

One area that should be looked into is one's health concerns. For people suffering from asthma and other health concerns, the manual reel type lawn mower is highly recommended. It provides you with the extra exercise and does not stir up as much dust and pollen as the other models.

The lawn could be the site of many household activities and family events. An excellent lawn is a place for many happy times and precious memories. Like a child it needs proper care, and the right touch. Nurture natures natural carpet with the right caress with the perfect lawn mower.
