The bad news is lawn services around here want $ 50.00 a crack for my
yard, want t do it
every ten days. That buys a lot of lawnmower.
The good news around here (Portland, OR) is there is not a humidity
prolem sprng summe early fall.
Winter is a different story, but no mowing.
I'd love to hire "the kid down the street", but there seriously ain't one.
