The Lawn Man.....

 This is how nice our lawn was last fall. Maybe not as smooth as a carpet, but it's green and full.

This is how it looks at the start of July. So you know it's worse by now , the end of August. The lawn man came yesterday. Ted runs in the house and says , "The lawn man is here and he's sick." So Ted gets him some ice water and I get a wet cool cloth so he can wipe his brow. My gosh he was over in the ditch being sick to his stomach.. He told us he was a veteran of the Irag war...so he knows how to stay hydrated. He had  gaterade , water, and a "cool cloth" (tractor supply store). But he drank the ice water and wiped his face. Told us he had no idea why he was so sick. I honestly do not know why he came to our house. He said the company didn't have the product he was suppose to put on the lawn. Why didn't he just call. Well it's that time of year where they are pushing other services !! They are getting people to sign up for aeration of their lawns.
  I spoke with a lady at this company on Friday of last week. She was to call me back with a quote. (You know they see our yards from space and can basically tell everything about it.) That's what she told me. Now she was to call me Saturday morning and she never called me back. So I think this young man was just going to measure our front lawn and try to get us to sign up for the aeration....which we did. But him coming all the way to our house to tell us they do not have the stuff to treat our lawn for the crabgrass..well it's just beyond me. He was feeling much better when he left, thank goodness. I fear those young men breath too many chemicals, treating yards and such. He is to come back once his company gets the right stuff to put on the lawn for killing the crabgrass that is taking over. :):):)
