Oh it is so good to be home!!!!!! My yard is a mess the lawn hasn't been mowed since we left and I can't believe how big some of the weeds have grown. We had a good bit of rain over the two weeks we were gone and everything is going crazy.
So did Ric and I jump right out and start whipping the yard into shape???
NO, I headed down to Josh's new house. He moved in last week and has already been asked when he was going to "Do something" with his weeds. His house is a corner property right on the main street of a small town and although the former owners had someone cutting the grass they didn't do any of the weeding and there are huge weeds along the whole side of his yard. He wasn't asked in a nasty way, but I wanted to get down there and at least start so they could see that some progress was being made.
Ric headed up to my parents house to mow. My Mom mowed last week while we were away. She can do it but it's pretty hard for her and he was afraid if we let it go a day or two she would do it herself again. Well, I'm pretty tired and Ric is now mowing our front yard with Dad's push mower. Since it is a bagger and our grass is so tall he didn't want to do it with our riding mower. I swear that man doesn't know when to quit!
Here is just a small section of Josh's yard, you can see why he was asked about it. LOL
