I've never been a lawn person. If it grows, fine. If it doesn't, finer - less mowing.

It's a play on the idea that Eskimos have 1000 words for snow.

Cute! I'm in the same boat as you - bare spots all over the place and quite ugly. Surrounded by all the neighbors'
plush, babied yards...

Mowing grass is cathartic to me. That’s why I maintain about five acres in all, but I just mow. I do not manicure. When farming, I used to enjoy driving a tractor in the fields for hours on end. Now I am reduced to my 60” riding mower, but, hey, it’s about the same. I have traded the aroma of fresh-turned soil for that of fresh-cut grass.

And I've heard that's nonsense. Maybe they do, and maybe they don't, but we also have many words for that stuff. Why would Eskimos need more?

I didn't say they do have 1000 words for snow, just that there is an idea that they do.

I have 1000 words for snow - and like snow, most of the rest are also four-lettered.

Lawn maintenance is among the dumbest things people do. You water and fertilize it, pull weeds, kill creatures, etc., all to make it grow. Then you spend a good part of your weekend cutting it down.

Right. That's the generally accepted idea. I didn't mean anything against you.

I used to have a neighbor like that. He was out raking the leaves after a light snow. Another neighbor is out there several times a week, although he's stopped having Lawn Doctor come every week. When the grass gets high, I mow it. Period.
