So it came as a bit of a shock when my father sent my brother and me an email, saying he was thinking of getting rid of his lawn service, and (this is the shocking part) asking if I had a lawn care schedule he could use.
I've put a lot of effort into this schedule over the years, so I figured I'd share my response.

Sure...
April - Ignore the lawn.
May - Ignore the lawn.
June - Lawns starting to get a little long... It can wait
one more month.
July - Christine's asked me to mow the lawn a few times.
I swear I'll get to it this weekend
August - OK. Conner went missing for an hour yesterday.
Turns out he was in a rather dense part of the lawn.
Christine's getting kinda cranky about the lawn and
threatening to hire someone. I'll definitely get to it
this weekend.
August 26 - Had to mow the lawn for Alex's birthday party.
Rented a special mower, cause it was too high for my
eletric one, but at least it's done. Let's hope for
an early winter.
September - Mow? Are you kidding!?! I just mowed in August!
October - Leaves are falling. Can't see the lawn any more. Much better.
Hope this helps.
Love,
Paul
