Rite of Passage

 

We try to keep about two of our five acres looking like the lawn of a home where civilized people might live.  

I can handle the mowing fine, but over the past few years the weed eating has become too much.  We have a LOT of trees, and, face it, I'm getting old.  What used to take a morning now takes me about three days.

So... we set out to find someone (a teenager) who would do just the weed eating and quickly learned that either they weren't interested at all or were way out of our price range.

Last week, while on her morning walk, Honey stopped to talk to some guys who were mowing a neighbors yard.  They are a small family owned lawn service and after looking over our place they made a bid to do everything for less than we had been quoted for weed eating alone.

They start next week.
