I have been mowing lawns since I was knee-high to a grasshopper (~7 years old), and have loved every hour since. I can remember my first customer, a neighbor who showed up on my front porch to ask if I could mow his lawn once a week. Though I messed up quite a bit (especially with mowing on a consistent schedule), that neighbor helped me to see that I could turn this newfound task into an occupation.  Now married, and with three little ones (one riding in the baby carrier), we love doing the same good service for a few select customers.
