I read it yesterday and was getting ready to comment but B was, well, in the yard, and I was called to a kidlet emergency or something. Ugh.

We are still getting stupid snow here so the official lawn care has not started BUT when it does my husband will be ALL over it!! he definitely plans ahead for what direction he will mow..horizontal lines...vertical lines....checkerboard....off to the right...off to the left. it is ridiculous but i totally buy into the whole yard snob thing - it just makes the house look so much better :)Katie OBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507314673197015514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-54947865197573422782011-03-21T14:18:10.862-04:002011-03-21T14:18:10.862-04:00Definitely!

We have a guy who comes and cuts, fertilizes and does the weed treatments for us. Hubs will trim the shrubs, etc., but my dad was always obsessed with how the lawn looked and was constantly outsided taking care of it, so I sort of expected that when I gott married. Ha! His work schedule is such that he'd be doing a lot of the work at night in the dark, so I do have to cut him a break. But I am the one who plants and takes care of our vegetable garden!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310043163074136313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-91903174686970973482011-03-21T13:09:33.824-04:002011-03-21T13:09:33.824-04:00My husband is a Landscape Architect, like he desig...My husband is a Landscape Architect, like he designs landscapes as his JOB.

Brad still does all the heavy lifting in yard work..anything that requires a machine, and then he has to help with all my "ideas"...like digging up half the backyard with a shovel and a rake when I'm 5 months pregnant b/c I want a garden. Or planting the random plants I buy at Home Depot that "I'm sure" will look great in our yard. In truth, the best feature of our yard is that it's mowed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-85568899130401226122011-03-21T12:02:07.320-04:002011-03-21T12:02:07.320-04:00Love this!

Mainly businesses now, but from March through November, he is coming home from work, packing up the lawn mower, and heading out to do others' chores. I guess the extra income is nice, but sheesh! It gets to be a bit too much. He has even asked the neighbor if he could cut down one of her trees so that more sunlight hits our backyard.

Like, we spent hours buying new flowers, mulch, expanding our garden, planting,etc. Then last year? Miss E arrived and that all went to the crapper. This year? Ill be damned if I dont do my garden. And Emeline will be out there with us, in her wagon, OR SOMETHING. So, I say you go out and hang out with him :)Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647270264720619268.post-79627718249307028582011-03-21T10:40:27.385-04:002011-03-21T10:40:27.385-04:00YES! oh.my.gosh. i relate all too well! my husband...YES! oh.my.gosh. i relate all too well! my husband used to maintain other peoples yards for them. working like 12 hr days sometimes....*that's* how much he loved it. oy! <br />tonight, his plans include doing the yard. no joke. and the neighbors. pray for me ;)jack+allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12007425779775122064noreply@blogger.com
