My $45 Lawn Boy 2-stroke lawn mower spent the winter outside in the backyard, as snow came early last fall. I don’t think it liked its winter in the wilds.<\/p>\n

After closing the deal to sell our house at the end of May (yes it’s sold. We had posted a celebratory blog entry on forgetful, but it was mysteriously eaten by internet gremlins), the lawn was one of many aspects of the house that we reveled in let get a bit dirty. 3 weeks of living in a show home was enough!<\/p>\n
