The sounds of nice weather

It's really not normal for people around here (us included) to mow their lawns on a Friday night but considering it's been almost 3 weeks since we've been able to mow because it was either too cold or raining or stopped raining but the grass was soaked, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow again, we've got to do it now. The grass is about a foot high right now. I went around and did a metric ton of weed wacking and Mike is mowing the lawn as we speak along with a ton of other people in the neighborhood. It's like a symphony of lawn mowers. The grass is so high that the mower keeps sounding like it's going to die any second because it keeps getting clogged up. It looks like this time we'll actually have to rake up all the grass....ugh.

Perhaps if we get dryness here and there, we can move some gravel tomorrow, but I'm not counting on it. I also found out that the guys who are going to move/take all the gravel are not going to be able to grade out the side yard because they are doing it all by hand!!! So, they get rid of the gravel in the driveway that's sitting there and grade out the one small part by the driveway and get to keep the gravel. Basically they are going to trade 15 hours of work for the gravel so if they don't use it all on the driveway, we'll have time to have them help with other things around the house scott free!

Oh and I'm hoping to have better videos in the future because I got a nice bonus at work from all the extra I've been doing that should be in my next check so that's going to go to 3 things: A utilikilt for Mike, 4 tickets to Body Worlds and a video camera. So, more and better vids to come soon!
