larry the lawnmower man
Author: JeanneOn Monday, I saw Larry mowing the lawn across the street. Since we have had this run of extreme heat recently, I have not seen him mowing in the neighborhood.
I rushed out and asked him if he could mow and trim for me. He came over after he finished my neighbor’s lawn and mowed my lawn. Then yesterday, I was sitting in my computer room, when I heard the sound of a weed whacker just outside my window. I looked out and there was Larry.
I ran out to ask him if he would cut a small 5′ stretch of grass between my yard and my neighbor’s back door. I explained how nice my neighbor was to me (watering my flowers in all this heat) and that we usually mowed the small strip of grass between each others home. He said ‘sure’. A short while later, a knock sounded on my front door. It was Larry and he asked for a trash bag. This totally confused me. Sensing this Larry said that he had weeded my front garden. !!!
It has been too hot for me to do it and my 2 grandchildren, who usually come and help me out with the yard, have been at summer camp and then on vacation with their parents. So, believe me the garden was a serious mess.
This random act of kindness warmed my heart and made the neighborhood look so much nicer. I really appreciate it.
