Clever Posts Of The Week

Clever Posts Of The week – September 19th

September 19, 2014

It’s supposed to be a beautiful weekend here in the Midwest, so time to get some outside projects done.  One of those projects will be to mow and trim the lawn and then put down the fall application of fertilizer.  I had contemplated hiring a service this year as my yard was looking a bit ragged at the end of last season, but I’m glad I decided to stick it out on my own.  I’ve consistently watered and fertilized it exactly as recommended and it’s paid off.  Looking forward to it being even better next year when I’ll continue to go the DIY route and save some cash on lawn maintenance.

High five for me.  What do you have going on this weekend?
