It's currently 87 degrees with 48% humidity...and I have to mow the grass when I get home. It will be like walking through hot pudding and breathing warm wet, gasoline-soaked cotton.
You're probably right, but I have to start somewhere. There's this big black billy goat on a local farm that has huge spiralling horns. I'd love to get him just to spook the neighbours. heh
I refuse to cut the grass in this kind of heat. It can just be a wildflower meadow. We'll probably get hate mail from the neighbors. But then maybe some good samaritan neighbor with a riding mower will take pity on us and mow it for us. :-)
Around here, the stupid city fines you $200 if your lawn gets more than about 6 inches tall. But they won't allow me to take it all out and put in a Zen garden like I wanted to, either. It's just a big money-making racket. I wish I could ban all lawns, they're bad for the environment and for allergies, they're not pretty....stupid, stupid custom.
Fortunately, we don't live in any city limits. In fact the next door neighbors have quite a nice field of corn beside their house. And there is a hayfield just a few diirs diwn at the end of the road.
