The grass isn't always greener on the other side

A family that mows together stays together....today was filled with mowing lawns....it was a long day....we mowed 7 lawns today....there was only maybe 3 that you could actually call lawns...the rest were waist high weed patches that looked like a great hiding places for all kinds of varmints and snakes...these were all foreclosed homes...so junk...weeds...and not the greatest neighborhoods...and most were big areas....I was feeling good today and helped with all of the lawns but the last one....we took 2 lawn mowers and all went well except for one home....I stepped in a old container of oil and my entire lower leg and foot was covered in old motor oil...disgusting....of course this was at a foreclosed home so no water to get it cleaned off...we made our way to the neighbors who helped clean off most of it....Winston was almost attacked by a Boxer that broke out of his fenced yard........but besides these two events all went well...it felt good to get some exercise but by the end of the day I was pretty tired and I think Dylan has moved down even further with all of my waddling around...Winston enjoyed most of the day...I am sure we were quite a site....the old blue pick up truck...a pregnant women and her husband out pushing thru knee high grass and their bull dog keeping look out....wow white trash....that's OK.......we were all grateful to get home...to our cute home...with pretty flowers and perfect grass....our grass is definitely greener on this side of the fence.....
