Reason #1,112 Why I Love Ryan Illingworth:
He can turn this....
Into this!
Since we moved into Illingworth Manor we've been the ones with The Yard. No one in the nieghborhood would talk to us, no one would look us in the eye. As of last night we've officially met nine people on our street! And all it took was two full days of back-breaking work, one broken (rented) till, 12 bails of hay, 14 trips to Home Depot and a $158 water bill. People told us our water bill could potentially triple but thanks to the drought it is FIVE TIMES higher.
FIVE.
TIMES.
And now we need a new lawn mower.
Maybe I should take up a collection from our newly friendly neighbors.
