Re: Yard work on New Year's Day? What are your thoughts?

Mow the lawn. It's Saturday and late enough to mow. No big deal in my neighbor.

I would get it done. Ours is covered with seven inches of snow. Won't be mowing until late April.

It's a Saturday. It's not like it's 7:00 in the morning.

 

Do your yard work.

I have an excuse not to do yard work.....1/2 a foot of snow!

It's a Saturday.  It's not like it's a day of mourning or something.

 

If you need to do yard work, do yard work.  If you want to go to Target, go to Target.

 

I am so sick of holidays and the overblown perceived importance of them. Mow the lawn if you need to.  I would have given no thought to this. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Since it might be the last day of warm weather, I say mow it. You don't want the snow to start and then you won't be able to mow.

 

I spent over an hour yesterday vacuuming up leaves from around my front door and front of the house. I knew with rain today and cold weather coming, it would probably not get done. So I did it while I could.

@shy bobcat I think you are a wonderful and thoughtful neighbor.  I'd say stay inside and have fun!  That grass will still be there when it warms up and isn't going to grow much if at all in cold weather.
