We grew tired of mowing the lawn, so ( are you ready for this?) we paved over the front yard and made it a parking lot.* As for the back yard, we removed the lawn, put in paving stones, built a gazebo, bought a swing, and planted $3000 worth of flowers. Now, when I get home in the evenings, I chat with my wife in the swing; she looks at her flowers and we complain about all the bees that have adopted our yard...but we wouldn't have it any other way.zoegirl wrote:I would *love* that! I grew up in a rural area and spent my teen years mowing those 3 acres with our riding lawnmower.
Oh yeah, the front of the house looks like H@ll. But it's convenient.
*shhh...I can hear you shriek!
