Oops! He did it again ...



Scalped my back yard, that is.

I got home from work last night to discover that B. had, once again, mowed my back-backyard down to the dirt.

How on earth do I tell my neighbor to STOP MOWING MY LAWN, ALREADY? 

Enquiring minds want to know.

I'd couch it in terms of it being something you enjoy doing (unless you've complained to them about hating to mow your lawn) - like "Gee, Bob, I appreciate you mowing my lawn, but it's something I really like to do, getting outside and enjoying the fresh air after all that time I spend inside during the week, would you mind not?" Of course, then they might want you to mow their lawn, too. :)

Robyn, you're a good person.

I grumped about the situation for a while today, and then had a Grinch-style epiphany. The old dude thinks he's doing me a solid by mowing my backyard; I'm sure it makes him feel good to do his neighbor a favor. Who am I to deny that? And it's not like he's destroying the Masters golf course or something. So I went over tonight and thanked him.

Awwwww.

(But after thanking him, I couldn't risk saying, "You REALLY don't have to do that!" ha.)
