Since we are going on vacation next week, this week we are trying to tackle some stuff around the house that has been on the to-do list for awhile.
Today was our jungle of a backyard. We normally are very good about keeping up with mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, trimming hacking the rose bushes and other flowers. Well the past month or so we have done none of the above, leaving us with 2 feet high grass in some areas, rose bushes that were taller than Steven (6'1"), and just an overall mess.
You may ask why the sudden rush to get it all knocked out when we'll be gone for a week and not have to worry about it? Well our landlords are a bit weird and shady. They were spotted last month slow rolling by the house while we were at work taking pictures and looking around the outside. Kind of weird if you ask me. We do not put it past them (or one of our elderly neighbors) to peek over fences, through the garage door, and any other open space to see how everything looks.
Creepy, I know.
So I made Steven get up super early this morning and help me tackle the yard. We are nearly done, just have a bit of weed eating left to do and then spray off the patio. I wish I would have taken a picture of the grass pre lawn mowing to show Y'all just how bad it was.
Tomorrow we'll finish up out back and then do a couple of things to the front yard, turn on the sprinkler system, and not worry about those whack jobs for a week!
Quick yard work question... am I the only one who mows the lawn in flip flops, shorts, tank top, and sunglasses? Supposedly it is incredibly dangerous to mow in flip flops, but I stand firm that you have to be a total idiot to hurt yourself. It's not like we are mowing hills or anything.
So, how do you mow your lawn?
