Sam, it could be worse, we could say "We Heart" or "Our Favs" (I'd have to make fun of myself if that was the case).
Anyways, Sam is hilarious. H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s. Mind you, he calls the blog Growing UP Maplewood - not sure where he got the "up" part?
So, in the spirit of things "We Fancy" - Sam, this one is for you! And, it's a double whammy because it's green! You'll love it. (Side note, Sam thinks recycling is pointless and that global warming is a conspiracy).
We Fancy: Fiskars Reel Mower
Yes, they do still make push-mowers. And yes, we've had several neighbors stare, make comments, and even ask if we would like to borrow their gas mower. It's actually been kind of funny, we're wondering if they think we bought this because we couldn't afford a gas mower? Even my own family thought we were joking.
Speaking of effort, we put an entire day of effort in the yard a couple weekends ago. Proof is in the
And the tools to prove we didn't hire a service. ;)
This pic below stinks but I wanted to show our progress. We still have a loooong way to go (hang the lanterns from the trees, plant more privacy trees along lounge area, save for dining furniture and more lounge furniture, new light fixture on front of garage, plant our garden, lay down more pebbles, get an outdoor trunk for storage & hide behind garage, start a compost, diy a coffee table & side table, add fence behind garage to keep Harley in, etc...) BUT progress is progress and if you live in Cleveland you'll know we haven't had many dry days so I think we're doin just fine so far. You'll see we finally found a sunny home for our Gronomics planters (read more here and here). Can't wait to start our garden later this month. AND...can you find our little pig dog Harley?
