It's time to cut the grass!!!

So, apparently, once Spring get here and the grass starts to grow, you have to mowe your lawn once or even TWICE a week when it starts to rain!!!

And yestarday, after having a lawn for a few weeks we went out to Sears to get our lawn mower and a weed wacker (we saved like $90 because they're having a sale). We went with Craftsman because we've heard good things about it, and we chose a Honda engine instead of the other option since we've also heard they tend to last longer (they're available with 2 different engine brands).

John and I mowed the lawn yesterday and I really like how it looks, plus, compared to a month ago, when the sod was just "installed", it looks much greener :-) Yay!!!

Aparentemente aqui en Missouri uno tiene que cortar el pasto una o hasta DOS veces por semana cuando llega la Primavera cuando empieza a llover!!!

Y ayer, despues de tener pasto por varias semanas fuimos a Sears a comprar la podadora de pasto y una maquina para cortar las orillas (y ahorramos como $90 dolares porque estan en especial). Escogimos una podadora Craftsman porque hemos oido cosas buenas sobre ellas, y el motor Honda porque tambien hemos escuchado que duran mas (vienen con 2 marcas de motor diferente).

John y yo cortamos el pasto ayer y me gusta mucho como se ve, ademas de que, comparado con hace un mes cuando a penas lo "instalaron" se ve mucho mas verde :-) Yay!!!

I also straightened the mail box today :-)

Tambien enderece el buzon hoy :-)

St. Louis Living

I'm not sure if you know, but living in the St. Louis area means mowing your own lawn, because sometimes you have to mowe your lawn once a week during the summer!!! (Of course you can pay for a gardener, but imagine how much would that be for that much grass cutting!!!).

Which brings me to this blog entry: I'm starting to look for a mower since I had no idea how much a good one would cost... I think we'll be spending less than $300 on one of the following...

The only "bad news" for me is that I thought I would find one that I would think was cute LOL... Now I have to decide which is the least ugly???

No se si sepan, pero vivir en el area de St. Louis significa tener que cortar tu pasto, porque algunas veces lo tienes que hacer hasta 1 vez por semana durante el verano!!! (Claro que podrias pagar un jardinero, pero imaginense cuanto gastarias por pagar por tantas veces!!!).

Lo que me trae a esta entrada en el blog: Estoy empezando a buscar una podadora porque no tenia ni idea de cuanto costaria una... Y creo que vamos a gastar menos de $300 en una de estas...

La unica "mala noticia" es que yo pensaba que iba a encontrar una que se me hiciera bonita jajaja... Ahora voy a tener que decidir, cual es la menos fea???
