A Bernese Mountain Dog girl. I don't think I have to mention that she is, indeed, a very good dog.Dog tax:
English is my second language, but my understanding was that nobody mowed their lawn with a scythe, but tall grass and wheat is something that you would absolutely have cut with a scythe.
On the smaller scale it's probably my wife and dog dying, in the larger scheme of things it's the rise of fascism here in Germany and Europe.
Mowing grass with a scythe instead of a mowerSplitting wood with an axe instead of an electrical splitterThey both are quieter and calming to the mind and soul, meditative even. And you kind of feel like an NPC in Anno 1602.
