A new cultural activity: lawn-sweeping

Although I have heard it said that US lawns all look (too) pristine, I thought our ex-landlady’s request that we sweep the dead blossoms off our lawn was taking “too pristine” to a whole new level.  However, sweeping the lawn is not such an abnormal things here, as I’ve observed.  Regina was more than happy to participate in a new cultural activity.

HA! In high school, a neighbor used to get out in the yard and vacuum his trees. You know, so that the leaves wouldn't fall on the grass and then have to be raked up. Sounds like that guy and your landlady would've been soulmates!
