Yards

Joel and I have neglected our yard for quite some time. Mainly because we didn't have a lawn mower for the longest time nor did we have the money to purchase a new one. Due to this we decided to hire our teenage neighbor across the street to mow our lawn every other week. Long story short...he did it twice and just stopped. That's when our yard started to look like a jungle. We bought a lawn mower off of Craig's List for $35 but it's not in good shape.

I finally got on a kick and did some yard work. I was able to coerce Joel to mow the lawn w/ the crappy mower. Well...while he was mowing he noticed that someone mowed a message in our lawn. But now it's so over grown that we can't tell what they wrote and he mowed half of it before he noticed it. We are assuming it said something like "Cut Me" or "Mow Me". Our neighbors (on the side where the message was) are trying to sell their house so we're wondering if they are annoyed with us and perhaps they are the culprits. I want my house to look pretty and I don't want to be the annoying neighbors who don't take care of their property but it's just not a priority. We don't have the money to buy a mower quite yet...I hope our neighbors don't hate us too much!
