Would my Toro riding mower love to run roughshod over this front lawn and do its stuff? You betcha! Then again. There's something that says these wild flowers, rocks and tall weeds need to remain just where they are. The old farmhouse's owners do have a working lawnmower. Evidence shows the area around the house is mowed and nicely taken care of here. You seem to find this a lot as you venture along roads heading to the water Downeast.
On the plus side, less time on the mower working, more time in a hammock in the afternoon.
An August foggy summer morn.
i rather like the natural look! :)
ReplyDeleteYou obviously have a busy day planned, so leave the Toro in the shed and head for the hammock so you can think of solutions to the problems of the world. Works for me every time and there's no guilt involved!
ReplyDeleteMethinks I'd go for the hammock.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine looking colonial (saltbox?) style house with addition. The natural look is great, but I'd be sure that a wide variety of wild flowers grew there to attract butterflies and birds. Toro riding mower? I would have thought you were a walking mower kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the hammock?
ReplyDeleteThe natural look suits it... and if there's milkweed in there somewhere, that's good for the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people are going for the natural look these days. Good for the native plants.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they're also trying to save on gas?
ReplyDeleteIt's well known that hammocks need regular use in order to stay in good shape.
ReplyDeleteYep, it needs a mowing.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the hammock!
ReplyDeleteAs the Beatles said, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
ReplyDeleteI'd be torn.. Not sure if I could relax in the hammock until the job had been done :)
ReplyDeleteI look at this lawn and sigh at its lushness. Our patch of green is now mostly brown, a sacrifice to the drought gods.
