thats what Im thinking too around here..its kinda slow(crazy weather) and the'll wait till they have full grass then call wanting it mowed,we wish they would call us before time so we can plan it.Or at least thats how we are. But like HOOLIE said they may be just takin their time.I wish I lived south!
the mowing must be better than this cold a$$ Maine
