mow the yard

Last week I was worried about our yard because it needed to be mow I am worried I might get a ticket from the city. Because my husband is busy working that he has no time to mow our yard. I have a friend who is having a teenager son and I asked her if she let her son mow our yard. I have to pay him only. She said yes so, on the weekend he came by our house just to mow our yard. I don’t like to pay somebody to mow our yard but I don’t have any choice I know I can do it but if I am outside nobody will watch my children. The son of my friend is happy to mow also because he earns extra money and he likes it too.
