Guy across the street works in his yard every day. He's setting the bar wayyy too high for the rest of us.

Yes she does, that's why I made him go outside.

I used to just offer to cut my neighbor's yards when I had a riding mower.
They'd just invite for over for eats & drinks once a week or so. Very worth the trade off for what amounted to maybe 30 more minutes.

Our neighbors told us the guy we bought the house from would dry the yard with his leaf blower everyday there was rain or dew.

old people do nothing but tend to the yard


It keeps them alive. My dad turned 85 Sunday. He plants and then tends to everything almost year round. He also has a garden. Planted butter beans, string beans and potatoes last week. Already has tomatoes and strawberries planted. Keeping the squirrels out of all of it will keep him plotting and altering things around them all too.

While they were on a cruise a few weeks back, I went over and picked up two 10 gallon buckets of pine cones in the front and side yards. Went back over the day before they were to get back and picked up another bucket and a half.

You'd have to be a real a-hole for them to hate you.

my neighbor complains about it, says I need to cut it twice a week


Couldn't imagine complaining unless it was obviously very bad, like the house looked abandoned. I would curse you under my breath though .

I never speak to most of my neighbors. I met the people next door (slightly older couple) for the first time at Halloween. They were really nice and talked about how we keep our yard up. Even their friend who lives across the street hasn't had any complaints. Apparently the across the street neighbor is the lady who does the complaining if you don't keep up your yard or park in the garage. That didn't sit right with me since their yard looks like shite. It's cut and stuff, but the grass is patchy, the flower beds look shitty, etc.

I pay a Mexican 40 bucks a week to keep my yard looking perfect along with sprinkler and fertilizer company. Don't go in my back yard though. It's a mine field of dog shite.

My neighbor vacuum his yard to remove acorns


I don't know why I haven't thought of that yet. This fall I'm busting out the shop vac in the front yard. Shoveling them all into a large trash can takes forever, and you never get them all.

What days are there not rain or dew or some other form of precipitation?
