I give up.

But just for now.

After her last fall the wife decided to hire the yard mowed since I can not keep up with it by myself. I go along to save hurt feelings. (mainly mine) If I get a rider I will take over doing it again. I want to thank Sted-E Ed-E and the others for their help.

Now for some bush trimming, mounting our new flag pole, painting the shed, etc, etc. Try to get the place looking decent again.

Man, you sure do know the euphemisms.

@RickN
I don’t know what lawn care folks charge in your area, but I think you might be money ahead paying someone to mow for you.

If i was closer i would add you to my list of biweekly mowings

Can you use a sharp sword to cut grass, weeds and hedges?

Asking for a friend. I won’t say his initials, but his name is @RickN

You can but it is hard on the sword. Better to use it to cut sandwich meats.

You do not know how close I came to making my yard artificial grass.
There are some really nice synthetic ones.

The wife is going to be gone tomorrow, I can mount my flag pole since she can not stop me being on a ladder. Bahhaha!

I would only do this if I would get artificial weeds and artificial bare spots. This technology has not been perfected yet.

After owning a house on a corner lot (which had lots of mowing/edging on the side of the lot that we got no real use of), I decided our next house would have a 15-minute lawn. We built a house on 6.25 acres... Oh well. It's not a corner lot.
