We have a tiny lawn at our home. And it was finally time to mow it. In Oregon, it can be a little tricky mowing the lawn in the springtime. We tend to get just enough rain to keep the lawn wet, which makes it messy at best to mow the grass. But at the same time, we get enough sunshine that the grass grows really fast. So today was the perfect time to do the job: We had gone a couple days without rain. But all the forecasters were calling for heavy rain tomorrow (Saturday).

Sooooooo, this afternoon while dinner was heating up, I decided to tackle it. We have an electric lawnmower, so I don't have to battle the gas engine trying to get it started. But the downside: we live on a hillside. So I start at the top, coast the mower down a couple steps and pull it back up to do another swath--this after mowing the front area which is relatively flat.

All of that to say: When I was finished, I felt more exhausted than usual. I felt very thirsty--more than normal. And for a while, just sat there while my wife put the food out (normally I help getting the meal on). Just made me feel a bit concerned. It seems to me that the lawn is too small to have that much effect.
Any thoughts?
