Yesterday hubby was going to cut the grass with a push mower. I was out back in the garden when I hear a motor start up. No motor in the push mower. So down I do to find him cutting the grass with the snow blower!
Amber, I could just picture my DH doing the same thing. I am curious, what, if anything (other than laughing) did you do about it? Did he realize his mistake, did you stop him, or just let him carry on? I ask, because I could quite easily be placed in a similar situation, although right now our neighbor is "storing" our snow blower for us. :-)
bonnie - I just said opps wrong machine and pointed to the mower I had put out for him. When he saw the mower he realized his mistake. I just left him to sort it out. Didn't want to bring too much attention to it.
You do just have to chuckle. I never believed these moments would one day be looked back on with such fondness and tenderness. I wish I had kept a journal of all these kinds of moments. You did wonderfully not making a big deal out of it. ♥
My chuckle: my backyard is much desert landscaping surrounded by a pool, pool decking and turf (you know the stuff the golf courses have in place of grass/ the artificial stuff). I asked husband if he would mind cleaning the debris on the turf as the wind had blown sticks, twigs, and other junk on it. Instead of using a leaf blower...he wanted to rake it up like real grass. Thank God he didn't get out the weed killer and mower to cut it. Perhaps if I wasn't supervising that would have been the next step. Wondering if he's considered why it stays green all year long without water?
