Here’s how my weekend ended.

Sorry Sir William, I’m out of the running for your blackened set.  The $$ were spent on lawn equipment.   :(

No worries man- you gotta do what you gotta do.  I, uh, went the lazy route and retained the services of a local landscaping company when I realized my mower wouldn't start and the best quote I was given was 6-8 weeks before repairs could be attempted.  Went through the troubleshooting process and all of that but it was already May.  I'm not complaining...I don't exactly miss it.  ;)

lol.... too funny. :)

Over here, our lawn usually looks pretty terrible at this time of year. It's growing quickly, and VARF limits our time, so we tend to cut it only once every other week at most.

I cut my grass every other week as well, Sir Edward.  I know some lawn guys will tell you that it needs to happen every week, and no more than 25% of its total length should be cut but I'm not going to crawl about on the ground and measure the grass and then adjust the height of my mower.  Its grass, it'll grow back.  Except for that dead patch smack in the middle of my front lawn.  No idea how that happened.
