In reply to the discussion: Today and yesterday I tried mowing neighbors yards for free. [View all]Jamastiene
(38,206 posts)My yard is incredibly hard to mow. I have paid people to mow it only to have them leave it unfinished with their tails between their legs. Some have run screaming for their lives after the ground hornets and red imported fire ants attacked them. This year, though, I finally found someone who knew how to get rid of the fire ants. It worked! After years of buying supposed sure fire fire ant insecticides, with none of them working, this guy puts very little of his stuff he uses in the yard, and those fire ants disappeared. I could not believe it.
What you did was nice. It never hurts to try to be nice to the neighbors. After all is said and done, good neighbors make for a good neighborhood and possibly good friends down the road. I tend to be one of those loner type neighbors. So, when I heard that my neighbors, who are pet owners, know I'm good to their animals when they visit me, it sort of made me feel good. It never hurts to try to be nice. Sometimes people may not appreciate it, but the reward is in the feeling of helping where, how, and when you can. Bravo.
