I spend about 2 hours ride mowing 8 acres of grass on my second property. I don't know what there is about it, but I found these comments in this clip to be so true. Mundane activities do set the mind free and I AM able to pounder my little world from the top of my Cub Cadet seat.

I'll take working in the yard over being stuck in the house any day. House or yard work, it always has to be done over and over. At least outside the scenery changes and a person can breathe and think.
