Speaking of gardening...

I just happened to run across this website when reading about lawn mowers and the lady has a real sense of humor. I found myself laughing out loud to some of her posts. She uses some words that I don't care for, but if you can look past them, it is very enjoyable reading indeed. Here are two of the articles that I liked.

Justin I keep meaning to call you on the wknd and because I have been working them I guess I forget! I usually remember on Monday morning! Well then I know you are working! Would there be a good time I could call you this week? I am on my days off right now I go back tomorrow. I came down with a bad cold yesterday that also feels like a bug.I feel pretty rotten!
I guess these articles remind you of your father and he trips to the dump! I'm sure you have a picture in your mind of him tinkering on his mowers as he often was.
I bought my own mower with my earnings! BRAND NEW!!! It is a battery powered push type. It is a Neutron brand made in Vermont. It runs very quite and starts with just the push of a button!

Sounds nice. Do the batteries last very long?

The articles reminded me of Jenni and I actually. She loves to garage sale and pick through the garbage left at the curb. We have found so many nice things that people were throwing away.

I mowed my first lawn for this summer. They are paying me $40 each time. I mowed the same lawn last summer and they wanted me to do it again.

I was going to call you on Saturday also, but somehow didn't end up doing it.

I should be home this evening. I can call you just as easily. How about tonight?

Jenni and I are hoping to go with Claire on Friday for a school field trip to a place north of here called Devil's Lake. I've never been, but it is very popular and I have heard lots about it.

Love you..talk to you tonight maybe.

Oh, I have been blog-hopping and just checked back and noticed that you commented! I like to hit the "next blog"button at the top of our blog and check out the interesting blogs. Some are interesting and some I just skip by...have you ever done that? It does burn time but as I said I'm not feeling well so this is an enjoyable pastime as I sit here with a blanket over me and my morning coffee and also some. tylenol flu tabs taking effect.
The battery runs for about an hour and 1/2.We have only 1/5 of an acre here so it take about 2 charges to finish. Of course Pop has his gas powered freebie mower that he still uses so the both of us out there gets it done!
I am planning on staying home tonight so try to call! Love you too!
