My grass (weeds, really) is so tall it looks like nobody lives at my house. My lawn mower got tossed at the giant tool sale last year. A new one costs the same as having the yard done about 2 times by a pro or 3 times by a kid in our neighborhood. Guess I'm buying a new one and doing it myself. Thanks (not really) to my cell phone deposit being applied to my bill, I now have the extra cash to get one. I'll be wearing a dust mask, loads of sunscreen, and a hat. When The Boy gets back from visiting his mom, it becomes his chore. I think the couch knows how I rank yard work, as I'd rather scrub grout with a toothbrush or babysit an entire kindergarten class instead. Here's to keeping the fines low and the neighbors happy!
