I am now the most hated man on my block
It may seem a little late to you lowlanders, but up at 8,000 feet, as of this morning I'm the first person to mow and trim my front yard! :D

Now, grumbling souls all up and down the block are working to get various lawn equipment running. :rofl:

I never understood it--what a waste they are. (My dad maintains his religiously, incidentally. With a human-powered mower, at least :patriot:)

2. Quite. Just having big rocks all over the place would be sufficient.

3. They are lovely on the tootsies
...besides, it's on untreated water anyhoo. :)

The lawn, like the gravel and the bark, are all part of my "no exposed dirt that can turn into mud and be tracked in by dogs" master plan.

5. Pennyroyal
low ground cover that will grow just about anywhere, never needs mowing and smells wonderful when you walk on it. Not to mention the fact that it repels fleas and ticks.
