Austin Blues

We tried to be strong. We tried to fight it. We thought we could mow the lawn and that would be enough.

But the creeping tendrils across the driveway and the high grass border along the fence...

I tried to use lawn sheers. I really did. But they left my finger badly bruised after just trimming one side of the driveway.

So, we broke down and did it: we purchased a trimmer/edger.

No more laughing at the neighbors as they make perfect corners in their lawns.

We've joined the masses. We've become suburbanites.

We can only take pride in our edger/trimmer being electric and therefore better for the environment.

And we don't have an underground sprinkler system or a Hummer or maid service... yet.
