what i don't like about canada - part 1

Time for a reality check. There are actually things in Canada that I don't like. Sorry to say, it's true. Now that the weather is finally starting to shape up the grass is growing and of course needs mowing. Today was the first big mowing day in our neighbourhood and it just happened to be a Sunday. After living for 12 years in a country where grass cutting on Sunday is VERBOTEN! this lack of respect for the quiet and respite of a Sunday afternoon seems almost tragic to me. So there we sat in the warmth of the sun with the whirring of lawnmowers buzzing in our heads, trying not to moan but missing a quiet Sunday afternoon in our little town in Germany.
