Mowing the lawn

Along with garbage pickup day, Thursdays is also lawnmowers day. The two guys which take care of our lawn as well as the lawn next door are two of the most efficient guys you would ever meet. They have a set price for services. They faithful pull out their John Deere tractor with a canopy and the edger and go to work without fail. The only thing I think is remaining is for someone to blow off the grass in the driveway with their blower. They charge 30 dollars, but we only require their services every two weeks. It saves us the labor in the hot sun and the four dollar gas prices. Here comes the blower and what an efficient job he does every time he comes. The mower guy I nicknamed Chicken eating Charles, because his real name is Charles and he loves eating chicken. He has an agreement with one of the restaurants over on US I where he will mow their grass for free in exchange for a free chicken meal. His sidekick I don't know his name, but he has a tattoo that looks like it belongs in a biker bar. While Charles was working on our yard, another lawn service vehicle parked and unloaded their mower and edger. The mower was a yellow stand up type. It looked like an oversize Sedge way or a redneck version of a oversize Sedge way. The edger guy was shirtless with a white shirt tied around his neck like a white scarf. His skin tan was a brownish blistering red color. and they finished around the same time Charles did. It makes for an exciting morning, because I needed to be dressed and not stay in my night gown until after lunch. Sometimes the mower people come and park cross the street right in front of our driveway. It takes careful backing of the car to get around this road hog. This is an older picture of my house before the light pole was painted red. I think it really looks better painted red. Maybe we are just getting use to it.
