Well, the old mower gave up on sunday, so my dh headed off to a near by town to pick up a new riding mower. (snapper) He also needed a new weed eater as the old one quit working.
When spring moves in, it does so quickly. Our grass was so high, we couldn't see Holly when we took her out.
Now, the yard is mowed and we are $1806 poorer. I even though about hiring someone to mow the yard, but they would probably want $75 per trip and that is $300 a month.
Hopefully this mower will pay for itself this year and will last for a while.
Now, we still need to do some yard work, it still doesn't look good. My dh does fertilize it and adds seed every year, but the neighbors lawns always looks better and they do nothing.
Oh well, we stayed home last night so dh could cut grass, so I am adding the $20 we would have spent for dinner out, to the $20 challenge.
Prev. total $6401.00
today 20.00
new total $6421.00
