April is here. The days are now longer than the nights and the frost is gone. It is now time to cut the grass. 
And of course summer is approaching which means trips to the shore will soon be in order.
So, how can one get in shape for the beach, while saving the environment and having a nice lawn, all at the same time?
One word: scythe!
That’s right ladies, the ancient European farm implement is faster than a Weed Whacker, does not release planet-killing carbon emissions and gets you six-pack abs in no time.
Don’t just ask but DEMAND that your husband buy you one right now!!!
Here it is in action:
An amusing post. In all seriousness, though, it’s not really a replacement for a lawn mower, because you can’t keep a lawn as closely cropped. If you do want to “save the planet” (as if it needs saving), and want a workout, use the old rotary mower that Nana used to use, the one with a “drum” of interlocking blades that criss-cross as you push it. You can keep your lawn neat, and the clippings fall back to the ground as mulch.
Or get sheep. Then you have fertilizer, and mutton. Mmmmmm, mutton, aghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghlghl.
