Earlier this summer some crazy person (ok crazy couple) decided to buy a 2.5 acre lot and eventually build a house. Like most of South Texas, this summer was labeled by record drought conditions. At times, Justin and I would drive out to check on our lot and seriously wonder if the oak trees were going to make it...that is how dry it was. Cracks in the ground that could have easily sucked up Jake or Rex....Well, now we have had consistent rain the past month (thank God!). Justin and I went to take a look at our lot a week ago and were completely AMAZED at how tall the grass and underbrush had gotten!! We obviously have 2.5 times more land than we had before. So the John Deere that cut our acre in Conroe in an hour, was no match for this beast of a landscape debacle!
Poor Justin spent his entire Sunday out there and didn't come close to finishing...Good thing the Cowboys were on a bye week :)
Our landscaping dilemma is this....we really don't want to pay someone $500+ dollars every time we need to cut the grass. However we really don't want to spend $12k on a small size tractor at this point and time....let's build a house first, please God!
Just to give a realistic image of what he was up against...the grass was taller than the kids..and here are a few photos.
wow! I would have LOVED this spot to take some pictures of the kids, tall grass is very cool for photos, especially with all of the colors! great pics, and hoping there is a house there soon :)
