This is our lawn. It has not been mowed once THIS YEAR! This photo was taken from our back porch last week and the weeds are even higher. We can no longer use the term "lawn" for it is a field. Our landlord was supposedly taking care of arranging lawn care, but we finally called someone ourselves and it happened to be the guy who did it last fall. He told Rhett our landlord has been calling him, shocking, but she never paid him for last fall so he didn't bother to return her calls. So we told him to start and we'll pay him directly and take it out of our rent.
The field is beyond his power, so to start he is arranging someone with a bush-hogger on a tractor to get it in a condition he could mow it.
It looks so trashy people are coming by thinking it is for sale or abandoned. They are always surprised to find that people actually live here. The current count is 5 people and one note. Two interested pop-ins actually tried to get in the house, thinking it was abandoned. Luckily both times Rhett was home, when he opened the door, one guy was already scurrying back to his truck, obviously embarrassed.
So we just thought we'd let you know...official white trash.
Like the car on the lawn to complete our new look?

This is hilarious, Jessica! It reminds me of a red neck joke: Something like- " how do you know you're in a red-neck's yard? You have to mow the lawn to find his car :)
