To ponder: The rear view

I've pondered about this for a while: Why, when working in the yard, do we put our rears to the street and not our fronts? Not only is it not our best view (not for most of us anyway), but when someone honks and yells (yes, I live in that kind of neighborhood), we have to straighten up and turn around and half the time the offender has buzzed on by!

My flower beds are deep enough that I can put my better side forward when tending them. Only thing is, so often I don't.

Hmmm. I'll have to work on that.
