My wife: "What are we doing this weekend?"
Me: "The same thing we do every weekend. Try and take over the world."
Both of us laughing
Me: "No, seriously, I've got a bunch of yard work to do."
I once had a series of those suburban yards. Now, my rural yard is mostly some grasses, wild strawberry, and dandelion. There's ants, spiders, slugs, praying mantis, ladybugs and others that mimic them, and worms. I let one corner do its thing and now it's full of bees. I no longer use water, fertilizer or weedkiller. I just mow it. It's always green, though what's growing well changes with the season and conditions. Nature takes care of itself, despite me running my mower over it.
I thought about not mowing it. But, I'm worried about rodents, snakes, and black bear getting too close. I should probably plant some native trees and shrubs to eat some space.
