Edwin Budding invented the lawnmower, and partnered up with John Ferrabee to manufacture them on this date, in England.
Before 1830, people mowed their grass with scythes, which are pretty demanding utensils. Why people didn’t just ask Us to help with the mowing is a riddle. We White Rhinos could have grazed those lawns in jig time. Munchin’ Luncheon.
Pip Pip!

One of the income streams from my sheep was renting them to the town of Trenton, UT, to keep the grass down on the verges. They had portable electric net fencing to keep them safe, and every morning I led them to the day’s work, then led them home in the evening. (My sheep, like Mary’s little lamb, followed me everywhere.) It was quite the hometown attraction, watching the twice-a-day sheep parade.
