Lawn Care, Who Cares?

So we have had our Hispanic friend, Alfredo (pronounced like the sauce), giving our lawn manicures since we have moved into the Cherry House.  He charges $35, takes all day, and does an okay job (we'd compare it to a hair trim).

Then the other day a man knocks on our door and offers to cut our grass.  I politely turned down the offer and told him we already had someone who was supposed to be coming later this week.  He asked how much he charged and naturally I told new-guy $30, less than Chicken Alfredo actually charges (we go to Austin College, okay?  We're taught to think on our toes!).  The guy said he'd do it all for $25 and we shook hands.

About 20 minutes later I was walking out to my car and his wife was riding around on the John Deere while he was trimming our hedges.  How cute!?!  A little cute couple making their living!

Long story sweet, they did a wonderful job!  We compare it to a fresh, clean hairCUT!

Sorry Alfredo.  It's over.
