|
|
How many of us deal with cutting lawns. I just finished the first time for this year and it exhausted me! Am I so out of condition due to Winter that this takes so much out of me?
I guess. How about you? Is this ritual something you've yet to do? Fortunately I bought a new mover last fall and today it started up the first pull of the rope.
Yes, it is Springtime now, enjoy. |

I'm due, actually overdue, for a new mower, plus I'm thinking seriously of selling the place and moving to a climate where the lot is covered with rocks rather than grass. With that in mind, I think it will be just as cheap to have a lawn service this year.
Normally. I kinda like cutting grass, but then my Dad was a dairy farmer and he mowed and baled hay by the acres and acres. |

| No more lawn mowing for me. My son or son in law can do it. If they don't it can just grow for all I care. |

I'm gaining a son-in-law this evening. He owns/operates a lawn mowing business on the side, which I now patronize at a substantial discount.
So it's farewell to my beloved daughter...and to my days of mowing the lawn in the oppresive Atlanta heat!  |

Matt, your not loosing a daughter your just gaining a son with a lawn mower!!
My two daughters are married, One of my son-in-laws is a truck driver (that's bad now with the price of diesel fuel!) the other is a meat cutter.
I live in Palmyra, Rural Renting Housing. The home where
we were living was just to big for us to take care of.
We've been here 3+yrs. and we love it. No more yard to mow. All utilities paid in rent.

It was an outdoor wedding and an isolated thunder storm 30 minutes prior to "kick off" threatened to hamper the event. A dozen towels and a short delay was enough to save the day. Everything turned out well.
The Bride and groom are happy. My wife is happy...and when my wife is happy, life is good.  |

The newlyweds will initially reside only about three miles away. I'll probably see her more now than I have the last four years while she was away at College.
My "lawn man" can be here in a matter of minutes!  |
