Next Door Neighbors by Pat Sandy for April 12, 2024

Me either. (Thank heavens we have more moss than grass in our soggy Seattle backyard.)

The less recognition from the neighbourhood association the better.

Oh you’ll be getting a letter all right.

I wonder what their Neighborhood Association Group ( NAG ) has set as the acceptable height range for lawns.

And now, a word from the HOMEOWNER’S Association!

No acknowledgment of the most imaginative upcycling of a 1955 Weber grill?

Dewey, that bush behind you needs trimming.

You’ll still be getting a letter from the neighborhood association, Dewey, but not the kind of letter you think.

Just too much work. Takes me over 2 hours just to mow the front yard. More if I use the grass catcher.

My landscaping was done by 8 year old boys with shovels. The neighbor’s were aghast. I don’t have any lawn left to mow!

It is astouding how LITTLE time I spend looking at my garden and lawn. I do enough to stay active.

I’ve never understood why some want their lawn to look untouched and pristine. Lawns are made to be used, especially if you have kids.

Poor Norm. Sure that thought makes him terribly sad.
