Happiest Lawn on Earth

Our property has A LOT of grass.  Did you know that watering grass is outrageously expensive?  Well, I didn't.  When we received our first water bill.... and it was $154, I flipped... mainly because we AREN'T LIVING THERE YET!  When we move in and start showering and flushing toilets our bill will be $500 a month!  

Well, we have since learned that you don't need to water your lawn as much as we were.  We probably had the happiest lawn on Earth in the month of August...  Very green, hydrated grass! 

Well, it's in the future plans to make our yard more water efficient.  However, in the meantime, we will deal with having a lot of grass.  

That being said, we decided it was time to make a very important purchase.  

Drum roll please.....


It's exciting stuff, people!  It's not just a lawn-mower.  It's a gas, self-propelled, nifty, red lawn-mower.  We haven't named it yet, but that's coming.  

I wonder who will get stuck mowing the lawn..... Nick or Ashley??  

P.S.- Thanks to the friends who let us borrow their lawn-mowers over the past four months!  You were a huge blessing to us!

  1. Nick, what a nice lawn mower you have! That will be a great help in your lawn. By the way, you need to know what type of grass you have, because some grass types need one inch of water per week while others need three inches.
