Workin' Man
These are the days The Boy loves being a homeschooler even more than usual.
The lawn mowing/yard work business is back in full swing. Over the past four years, he has successfully built a small base of satisfied, repeat customers and he's always looking for more! :)
Ah! The Almighty Dollar! Good for him. It is hard to find work and harder for the young, inexperienced and those who live rural. My one daughter just finished University and could not find full time work. So she is doing personal gardening and has 7 clients already.
Thanks Heritage FG - it's so sad to hear of these young folks who've spent so much time & money at college unable to find work. Hope your dgtr finds something soon. By the way... I have been unable to view your blog site for the past couple of weeks! It only shows your title banner and then the page ends. I can only read your posts through Google Reader. There must be something wrong as I've tried numerous times and through different avenues all to no avail. Hope you get it fixed soon.
Thank you Hansens. The boy has definitely built up a "can do" attitude since being homeschooled this year... I love it! Green is always good in ALL it's many forms. ;)
Hello Maine Farmgirl, My kids started a begged manure career. You heard me right, you can get mixed or straight run type of manure. Ha Ha. I love it and encourage them. Got to love Homeschool kids. Take care
I found your blog while doing a little blog surfing. I noticed on your profile that you and your family live in Maine. My family also lives in Maine. I always love stumbling across the blogs of other Mainers!
I had to smile when I saw the picture of your son on the lawn tractor. This is exactly how my brother and I started out years ago with our business. Now, 10 years later, it is my full time job. There are many blessings that come from owning your own business and I am sure your son enjoys what he does very much. I know I do. I will pray for your son's continued success.

Good for him! :) Glad to see things greening up in your neck of the woods!
Alica - It's so good to see GREEN again! :)
I love when young folks take initiative like this! Something to praise God about! Green is good isn't it?
