Taking care of the lawns

Well, these photos are out of order, and I apologize for that. I can't seem to move them to put them in the correct order. And since here they are...let me explain what you are seeing. SM and I live in a neighborhood that everyone has large lawns and spend a good amount of time outside working in their yards. And so as the Spring rains came and then the Spring sun came, our lawn grew longer and longer. And soon we knew the boundaries of our property since the grass was much longer on our side than on any other side.

So, SM got on Craig's list and found us a lawn mower. We picked it up, ran got some oil, gas can and a few other things and then SM got to mow the lawn for the first time. I know that doesn't seem like anything special but we've been in apartments for most of our marriage and never had to take care of the grass.

So, the above two photos show the front and back grass and after they've been mowed by SM. And below are photos of SM mowing the grass.

Here is SM as he works hard at mowing the lawn. I'm very lucky to have a great husband who will mow the lawn even though he really doesn't like doing it. And a couple days later he went through the grass, spraying poison to kill the dandilions, thistles and alfalfa. Hopefully we have some grass left after the bad plants die.
