We're getting a lawn boy...

We've debated about it.  We've said we're young and can just do it ourselves.  We've bought the mower and weed eater.  We've even done it ourselves all summer...but no more.  Today was hot, the grass was long and thick from rain, the mower was acting temperamental, the weed eater wouldn't advance, we were both sneezing up a storm (even wearing dust masks and looking fly), so on and so on.  

This is how it felt...thankfully it was not this bad.

We have decided that we're going to hire someone to take care of our lawn come next spring.  We can make due for two, maybe three more mows before it dies for winter, but when it comes back to life in the spring, we're shelling out some $$ and calling it well spent.
