End of an era?

 A few weeks ago, I gave my grass, what could be, it's final cut of the year. 

And I noticed something that made me sad. No one was around to watch me cut it. 

When my girls were little they'd sit by the window and cheer me on every time I passed by. As they got older the youngest set took their places, sitting by the windows and waving. My son's been doing it on and off this year. He even came out every so often to "help" by pushing his toy mower around the yard. 

But even those times are coming to a close. Sure it's hot, but my son isn't staying out as much and my girls could care less what I'm doing outside. 

I get it. It's not exciting to watch. But it makes a Dad happy either way. They're getting older now and it's expected things change. They still do a lot of other things around the house that make me smile, this is just one that's fading away.
