It is kind of fun to tear through.. I got burn piles all over the place out there.
Got a little network of trails going on that I started last year. My goal is to have a nice little half mile shaded running track out there.

I think the neighbors complained and the city people just had their people mow it. The fine was probably the 100 dollars I am guessing they charged.

Many years ago, maybe 2 years after I moved in to my first house, my old busted lawnmower crapped out.
It was a super rainy June, and shit got out of control quickly.
At the time, the position I was in work wise was wide open for making cash- the only limit was sleep.
Like any kid I took full advantage and worked stupid hours and ignored the lawn.
I get home one day and someone had mown for me. Dont know who, they left no note nor had anyone said a word.
That was the most effective slap in the face I have ever had. From that week on, I never once skipped a week.
A fine or someone bitching at me... wouldn't have done shit except elicit a middle finger.
...but that- whoever it was made their point to perfection.
Lesson learned...other people exist around me and they don't need to look at my mess.

I am sure it was.... but at the time as a healthy 20 something it was pretty embarrassing and shameful to me that someone spent their own off time doing that.

I can't believe any slob hasn't mowed this season yet. Who gives a **** about bees, I'd rather not be looked at as a lazy asshole.

My only neighbors are corn and a private preserve.

Here is a pic of little guy being outmatched by a rainy may. I had to do the first pass with the big chungus and then follow up with the little fella.
I am going to go ahead and let everything beyond the stream grow this year. (far back bottom pic)

Here is the next project= I began yanking these guys out today. behind them is a half-circle plot right off the driveway.
I am going to change the grade behind it a little bit and have a nice arched retaining wall of the same brick I used out front surrounding it, and then let my lady plant whatever she wants out there.
(if anyone needs 4'-5' utility pole segments, come and get em)
