My friend claims her neighbor knocked on the door one day and told her she was sorry that her husband was sick. She replied that her husband was fine. The neighbor said she was sure that he was sick because he hadn't mowed the lawn in a couple of weeks.
the curve on the side of your property has become dangerous and makes everyone slow down in fear of a vehicular accident because they can't see around the grass!! Yes that is a true story, last year our grass was taller than me! and thick as an inch! Mower couldn't take it
so my neighbor drove his truck over it to push it down. Now his goats are there
You can only see your chickens when you see them hop up to catch the insects flying over the grass
when you, as a six year old, get lost a hundred feet from the back door, unable to see over the top of the grass, and start crying because you think you'll never find home again (happened to me, mom was sick, lawn mower was broken, and step dad was unmotivated to get it fixed)
