Yard work is hard work

Mb's neighbor is in the process of whacking my yard into a civilized state. It was last done in October, and the sawgrass was in knee-high clumps all over the backyard. I'm fairly impressed by the amount of work I'm getting out of him---so far, in addition to mowing, edging and blowing, he's taken a shovel and cleared the bottom of the driveway where dirt accumulates after it rains.

I couldn't begin to tell you the last time *that* happened. It might be as long ago as the Guatemalan Forestry Service. Those were the days! Too, I was working at the time, so I could afford to drop $100 a month to get mowed every ten days or so.

I've taken a couple cans of SunDrop out for him and his girlfriend. It isn't that warm---about 71F---but it's a nice thing to do, and I'd like to stay on his good side. If I can arrange the next few cuts while I still have money, it'll be one less thing to worry about for a while.
