A positive part of this is before I loaned my mower, it took 10 hours to mow the property with a basic riding lawn mower. My mower takes 3 hours. That made for some pretty happy volunteers for that past few weeks.
I got it there originally by having it serviced, so it was picked up from home, and dropped off there. It was also my turn to mow, and I didn't have 10 hours to spend on a little mower, so it was mostly to help myself.
Church is our home away from home, but I agree, members are finatics about mowing every square inch. Especially those who don't sign up for mowing. There is a 2.5 acre field that would be fine to let go to flowers, but no. Somehow a field full of flowers would indicate to people passing by who are never intending to stop in that we don't care or are not thriving like we are a store or something.
