New mower

March 27th, 2007 at 03:01 pm

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

    Tee hee! I could just see Holly as a little wild jungle animal!
    Our lawn does'nt behave either. At least we keep it neat and trimmed - right?!

    I am the mower of lawns at my house. We have several acres, but thankfully it isn't all grass. I actually like riding around on the mower and seeing how great the lawn looks after it is cut. Besides, my DH, who is left handed, thus right brained, always goes in the direction that throws the cut grass on the walks and on the porch!

    That is funny, my dh taught me not to get the grass on the walks and porches. Yes, we keep it mowed but we sure get a lot of weeds and crab grass!!
