Landscaping

So this man came by a few days after we moved in (beginning of July) asking for our Assistant who had been running the house since the other Family teachers left (about a month). We wanted to speak to her about mowing the lawn for us. Well i asked him how much he charged and he just kept asking for our assistant. I took it as a sign i needed to use the lawn tools i found in the Garage.
So i dig out (literately) the first lawn mower and go to work on the yard. Then i went around with the weed eater, all the time trying to be careful around the cars parked on the street, random huge holes and indentions in the ground and trees and bushes. About halfway through the backyard i ran out of gas. So i dugg out the second mower, finished the back yard and was finished about 2 hours after i started...feeling very proud of myself.

UPDATE!!!
Recently i noticed that the front yard was going to need my expertise again. Well today July 18th the man came back asking for our assistant. I informed him again that she does not work as often as she used to. Well he decided to talk to me today. He stated that he had spoken to our assistant a little while ago and she stated our business was low on money and an Old man down stairs was going to be mowing the lawn now. He then went on to say "i saw that the old man had cut it but he did a &*%#$ (bad word) job....It looked like *%$#*!" At this point i simply shook my head and as the man went on and on about how bad the yard looked after "the old man" (ME) had cut the lawn. So the man left and i turn around and there is Sarah and one of our girls rolling on the ground laughing. Funny stuff :c). Guess ill try to do better next time.
