For free?

You may remember some of my neighbors took down a big cedar tree that had splintered out due to heavy winds. They had left the bigger pieces until a later date. That date had not yet come for them to split it and remove the rest.
I could not complain. They did all of that work for free.
You might remember I found a youngish guy who would mow my yard, for what I had budgeted, even though it was very high, and a mess.
He messaged me on Facebook. He wanted to cut it again, for free! To make sure that it did not get too high again. Of course I said "yes" and asked him if he wanted the remains of the cedar. We had talked about it before. He said he would take it, for free!! He heats his home with wood, I believe. I did offer to pay him, though.
I will have him cut my back yard as needed about every two weeks this summer. That is a relief.
We did leave the stump waist high, and I have put plants on top of it.
So what have you gotten for free this week?

That’s fantastic, Heather! I am so glad to hear the news.
What have I gotten for free this week? A Gilmore Girls blanket, salmon skin for dogs, yak cheese puffs for dogs, freeze dried chicken for dogs, puppy pads, and patriotic earrings. But none of that compares to your tree news!

How wonderful for him to offer to cut your grass again for free. The cedar would be a great payment for him and for you to get it cleaned up. Such a great win all around. I got a free Starbucks and Dutch Bros for my birthday. I didn't have to use them on the 7th and worked out for an appt since it's a 35 minute drive. Got Starbucks to drink and a pour over with Dutch so i could bring home and make a couple more drinks over two days.

That's a great arrangement. I love it when you can work with someone for the benefit of both.
