Last week I received an email that started out “Imagine the eco-consiousness of Lisa Simpson and the sheer laziness of Homer Simpson.” The Simpsons? Lazy meets eco-friendly? I was intrigued.

Husqvarna will launch its fully robotic solar hybrid mower in the U.S. this coming March. The Solar Hybrid is designed for lawns up to 1/2 acre and offers automatic shut-off, an intuitive keypad with a back-lit display, a pin code lock feature and alarm for security. Plus it is practically silent.

The hubby keeps nagging me to help with lawn maintenance. Well, if he coughs up the dough for this $2999.95  fun little gadget, I just might start mowing the lawn. And if you haven’t figured it out yet, yeah, I’m the Homer in the relationship.
