3 years ago, we bought our first home. His first, and my first. We have a big yard. Kevin likes to mow. He mows regularly, and then stands on the deck to look over it. Then, he turns to me and asks, "So, what do you think?" It looks good. It always looks good when he's done with it.
Saturday, the yard needed mowed, but Kevin worked in the morning, and it rained a bunch. Sunday, we unexpectedly went to pick up the girls (yeah!) and got home too late in the day to mow. Tonight, I came home and saw this:
Natalie asked me earlier tonight what was meant by, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I answered to the best of my ability. Now, I can give her another example.
We can't afford a nice, new mower, but Kevin found one at a garage sale. It's perfect, and worth more than we paid. We can't afford a bagger, but we have this "yard sweeper" that used to belong to my uncle. I have no idea how old it is, but it's probably as old as me.
I came home to see him, after a day at work, mowing and "sweeping" his yard. He then started in on the bank with the weedeater, and is now (it's almost dark) taking care of the ditch.
Bless his heart, he loves to have a nice yard.

I love to have a nice yard, too. I just don't want to do the work that goes along with it. :-P

Oh it is a good thing when a man takes pride in his yard!
Can you send him over when he's done?! My hubby is not so much into the lawn since our riding mower bit the dust. Can you blame him though?

Aww, What a great guy you have. A proud man is a man who takes pride. Vicki
Count your self lucky. You could have my husband and his version of yard work.
That's all I'm going to say about that....
