On another note of things that have been going through my mind regarding the house is grass, landscaping, and namely, what we're going to do with this yard. I'll warn anyone bothering to read this now, this is not or will not be the most well articulated post ever!
Disclaimers aside, with about 3 acres to maintain, and no lawn mower in our possession, and no budget for one, I'm resigned to chalking up the $$$ for weekly (bi-weekly?) lawn care. I'll admit that ideally, I don't mind mowing the lawn. I was actually looking forward to it. But then I looked at lawn mower prices ($2600+) and the time it might take to mow my lawn (not very rocky or hilly, but I estimate about 3 hours for an amateur like myself). And I've basically resigned myself to the fact that it ain't meant to be this summer.

To whom it may concern, in our corner of the woods in MD, we've been quoted $80-$100 per lawn trim. With the low end $80 coming from 2 kids walking around handing out flyers with a picture of a riding lawnmower on it and the $100 coming from the traditional full service lawn care companies. I'd lean towards the kids fyi, not only because they are the most inexpensive, but i kinda liked their approach as two teenagers who want to earn $$ and don't mind undercutting the big companies. But we'll see...
Finally, Ashley and I were down in our morning room the other day, and we saw the darndest thing. We saw a fox, walking through our backyard, and we he turned around, he had a chicken in his mouth!!!😱 We could not get our phones out fast enough. So here's a picture of like, another fox who got his chicken to go (sorry, had to do it). Just so that you can maybe see what we saw smh...
