Yeah, I hear ya on that.  It can indeed be a pain, but mostly I actually 
enjoy most of it.  I guess especially in the springtime, when things are 
really starting to grow again.  Getting the trees (palms and similar) 
trimmed up and looking good makes the whole place look fresh and clean 
again.  Obviously grass mowing too, which I don't mind too much, and 
usually a once-per-year pressure-washing of walkways, porch, driveway.

After a couple of months of this, the enjoyment level drops off quite a 
bit, largely because of the heat/humidity through the summer here 
(Florida).  It's a real challenge to get the work done then (about every 
10-14 days, sometimes more often).  But anyway, it's something that we 
deal with, and owning the home is a good thing, overall.  :-)
