Ping!
Can’t believe hubby didn’t tell me about this one, he normally scours the local papers.
You know, I found it so odd when we first moved here how doing lawns was such an intrical part of life. I think that might be spelled wrong… Anyway, in Mexifornia nobody did their own yards. They are hired illegals to do them. You couldn’t even find a white person to do lawns, I know because I tried.
But here, everyone does their own. Even my 78-year-old neighbor. And if you rent a property it is the renter that does the lawn. And even the trashiest trailer has a nicely manicured yard. I see very few yards that are growing out of control, and those are usually foreclosures before the bank gets to them. I kind a like the work ethic people have in that regard, getting out there and taking care of their own property.
Of course this story puts a different spin on it :-)
