Lawn Care

Now that my husband and I own a home, I have a lawn to take care of. My parents were nice enough to give us their old push-mower for us to start out with. Well, I mowed our entire lawn last week with it, and while it works fine, it is hard to push and our lawn is very hilly.

John and I made a trip to Home Depot to buy a new lawn mower. I have never gone lawn mower shopping before, and I must say it was pretty fun. We bought a Torro Push-Mower that is self-propelled. We put it together and tested it out that same day, and we really like it. We also bought a Torro weed wacker, and put that to the test.

I never thought Home Depot would be one of my favorite stores to shop at, or that I would care so much about how my lawn looks. Apparently when you live in town, you care a little bit more about how your lawn measures up to your neighbor's lawn.

John and I also planted a garden this year. Now, I don't really have a green thumb, but we couldn't resist trying to grow something in our garden this year. We planted some green beans, onions, and tomatoes. We will have to wait and see if anything grows this summer.

Needless to say we are getting settled into our house and we are loving every minute of it. The next item on our agenda is to have a housewarming party to show our house off to our family and friends. It going to be a fun summer!
