3. I love my big yards but I hate the sound of the weed wackers all around me.

This is a rural area, but the neighbors want to cut their yards down to a stub e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y. One of the neighbors on one of my sides is out there this very minute on Easter Sunday, driving me nuts.
I just let my area go wild, and I do give it a cut when the poison ivy starts blooming, but other than that, I love tall, soft grass, and I am not going to pay a small fortune every week to have a massive yard cut when I really like it tall.

I have an area I will garden, and I have started some potted plants, but it depends on my schedule and circumstances if I will have time to do anything. I travel often, and my cats are happy when I leave, so I don't bug them with medicine and trips to the vet. They are like me, they like their alone time.

But I despise the sound and smell of the gas-powered weed wacker neighbors. There is one at it right now. Silence is golden.
