Jul 3

I am surrounded by people who are slaves to their lawns. One neighbor can take up to 5 hours to mow. Others take 1-2 hours. There is a mower going every day. Used to be March to Oct. Now, it's Feb. to Nov. I'd love to live way north.
I have a lawn co. because of allergies. I told them to put me last on their list and last if they are behind. It takes them 15 minutes to mow and weedwhip my yard. I have a variety of wildlife to enjoy and mixed plants. Some bloom. I have what I want and the free time to enjoy it.
Thank you, kindred spirit.
