10 months & counting no more

Yes, the lawn has been mowed. It was the first sentence out of both the across the street neighbors and the next door neighbors mouths that they were happy that this house had permanent people who would take care of the lawn. Whoops. Today, is the first day we have ever mowed the lawn and I had my doubts. I am currently highly impressed with the manperson. He has in last week: halfway removed two crepe myrtle stumps that are in the way of our drainage project, he organized the garage so that I could get to the gardening tools easier, and most impressive of all mowed the lawn today just like he said he was going to. I'm not sure how I feel about the lawn being mowed. On one hand it both looks nicer and less nice. I was kind of enjoying the renegade grass stalks.

I was so taken with the weedeater that the Manperson was using to get the stragglers that I couldn't help but use it on my cover crop. Thank you, wonderful in-laws for giving us the grass-hog weedeater. It was so much fun. Though, I was suppose to wait to cut it down in November. I have uncovered the crimson clover, so maybe that will get taller now, but who cares it was so much fun! I like chopping things down (insert evil laugh here).
