My Pretty (But Overgrown) Lawn

If you plant ornamental shrubbery or gorgeous flowers, you probably don't intend to plant them where they'll get mowed, right?

Technically, I didn't plant these. The Good Lord did. I've just been putting off lawn duties because it seems like such a shame to eradicate the natural beauty that has popped up all around us.



How overgrown is too overgrown? I'm not sure yet. Obviously, I don't want to let the place go completely wild. That'd just be tempting the snakes, skunks, rats and other critters to move in. I'm just finding myself so unwilling to cut these down.

Oh yes, in case I hadn't mentioned it or you didn't know, I'm a rural gal. I consider this yard my naturally xeriscaped lawn. =)

Wishing you much peace, happiness and success,
