We took a three-week trip starting the first of May and hired some folks to mow the lawn twice while we were gone. Didn't have the sprinkler system turned on and came home to a ton of weeds in the rock borders and a number of dandelions, but the lawn was mowed and didn't look bad. DW asked me to turn on the sprinkler system for the drips so did that, went to the nursery for plants, helped plant stuff, mostly her planting flowers and me doing the garden stuff in the dirt. So, had to turn on the whole system. Spent a good part of yesterday messing around and mowing the lawn, her pulling weeds, etc. and this morning the lawn looks great. We are retired, but don't take long, extended trips, usually a week at a time to fish so there is plenty of time to take care of the yard. However, if I were to leave for an extended time, you can bet someone would be here taking care of the yard. However, our playground is only about three hours away, Grand Teton National and Yellowstone National Parks, that we don't need to stay away from home a long time, just enough to get homesick. Love being retired and doing what I want when I want without worrying about an alarm clock telling me I have to get up and go somewhere.
