I think it is far more beautiful than a closely mowed lawn.

I agree, and have done the same, until the saplings take hold.

I like a bit of both... I keep the lawn mowed around the house - helps my flower gardens stand out..and less hiding places for the darn foxes. But I have several acres we don't touch at all, and some are for the sheep.

Speaking of foxes. the neighbor feeds a female in the area, and I saw 2 of her kits last night playing in the road (one got hit a week earlier). They are always lurking around my yard... killing my chickens.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

I used to be one of those 4-step lawn people. The fertilizer company even considered my yard for a photo ad. Then I began my master's degree and learned just how lawns became an American obsession.

I haven't seen my foxes in over a year. I don't know what happened to them. Maybe the devil dog is keeping them away. No if I could only keep the damn dog out of the chicken run.

It looks like we might be huddled in the pavilion for this. Make sure you shower and put on deodorant before getting there.

Oiy! Worked the closing shift tonight (Friday). I was thinking close at 11 and be home and in bed by midnight. Nope! Weekends we are open until midnight. And I worked with the owner...so no shortcuts to get out early...so I didn't get home until much later.

It's now 2:15 am. I hope I can wake up early enough to get to CS19 on time. If I hit the snooze and over sleep you will know why I'm late.

Forecast says rain will hold up until 2. Let's hope they are right this time.

I'm at work. I hope everyone is staying dry and having a great time! I hope to make it next year.
