Matt is such a great neighbor to have. About three weeks ago I looked out Zack's window and saw the forest that was the yard behind ours. I told Matt and he took a look. We had not seen anyone there for a while, so we figured that they moved out. Then one afternoon, we were sitting in the backyard with the boys and the cats when Matt got the desire to mow the forest. He did not want to walk all the way around the block with the lawn mower, so he had me help him lift it over the fence. Matt mowed from about 5 until 7:30 when it started to get too dark to mow. He was not even half way done. So the next day when he got home from work and the forecast said it was going to rain a lot the next few days, he decided to finish mowing the forest. He started at 3:30 and finished at 6. 
Zack watched Matt from the top of the ladder.
Before (you can tell the parts I mowed- they're at the bottom of the picture)Most of the "grass" was about 2+ feet tall- up to my knees and thighs
What he got done on the first day.
After- What isn't pictured is the 3 1/2 tanks of gas it required and the 32 fire ant bites on my ankles. It was quite the reward.
