Why Would You want to mow your own lawn?

They were shirtless, young and cute! The Erie Lawn Barbers have arrived and poured out of the truck one by one. I quickly grabbed my camera and started shooting. That put a smile on their faces. This was a first for both them and me.

I was a little nervous and felt a little giddy as I took their pictures. When the young man in red spoke to me with that Australian accent I thought I would melt. I thought to myself, "You're 52 years old and twice their age!" I had lots of fun and I think they enjoyed having me take their picture. I just had a hard time remembering to push the button. I was busy staring at them through the viewfinder, I took the liberty of zooming in for that close up!

They finished up and cleaned the sidewalks. I got a group photo before they got in their truck an drove off. They'll be back in a week and I will be there to watch them work!

So if your grass is in need of mowing I can't imagine why you would mow your own lawn when you can have The Lawn Barbers do it for you. They are a local small business out of Erie, Colorado and we should always try to support the small business man.
