(NAPSA)—Professional quarterback Brett Favre says he loves to mow his lawn, and he’s not alone. According to a recent survey, twothirds of respondents find mowing relaxing or fun. A full 70 percent say their primary reason for keeping their lawnslooking goodis that it makes them feel good. The survey also found half of the women surveyed say they’re the ones who mow the lawn mostoften. “Mowing was a chore when I was a kid,” Favre said. “Now, I really enjoy cutting my own lawn. It’s something I can look back on at the end of the day and be proud of the way it looks. People who hate mowing probably don’t have the right equipment,” he added.

Nearly 70 percent said the biggest challenge is navigating around flowerbeds, trees andother obstructions. Favre agrees. “Having the right mower means everything,” he says. “My Snapper Zero Turn unit allows me to maneuver around obstacles and makes mowing so mucheasier.” In fact, Snapper is sponsoring an “It’s That Easy” mowing con- fo Quarterback Brett Favre says he loves to mow his own lawn. .
