I guess that's one way to do it.
These days we are logging on to websites and filling out forms at the post office to declare our exit from our home of 16 years.
We loved our old house. We were less than a minute from the Waffle House, the Bojangles and the grocery store. I had a paved and scenic running track that was exactly 3.1 miles in one lap. I had a lawn I could cut in less than an hour.
But life on the plantation is good. We have to wait 9 extra minutes for Waffle House and more like 15 minutes for Bojangles and the grocery store. My running track is all grass now which is easier on the knees and it takes 5 laps to reach 3.1 miles. The yard takes 12 hours to cut and well, there's just no way to make that sound positive.
But the view from the front porch is nice...

I'm thinking that a yard that takes 12 hours to cut should be left to grow naturally into meadowland. At least 11 hours worth of it, anyway. Find a friendly neighbor with a tractor to run over it once or twice a year with his mower attachment. Life is too short to spend 12 hours mowing the yard.
that view looks like heaven.
what a dream view. congrats :)
j - twice a year sounds about right. i cut so much grass i think i upset the ecosystem.
m - sounds like heaven too. cicadas, crickets and jackals.....some banjo in the distance.
a - thanks. the little dogs love the big yard.
