Next year I will be taking care of the lawn rather than using a local

The comments in the thread are interesting, particularly about the
size of typical lawns. I'm in So. Cal, I timed my lawn mowing one
time. From getting off the sofa to back on the sofa, five minutes. I
didn't edge that time.

I use a battery mower, really like it, I have a personal problem with
small gas engines, especially ones that don't start immediately. Just
got a battery string trimmer that I can edge with.

Now I need a battery operated grass puller to get the grass out of the
flower beds.

My best friend while growing up used that term for the resting furniture in
the living room "sofa". My family still calls it a couch.

If it only takes 5 minutes to mow, I'd wonder why even bother having a lawn.

It was there when I got here and is the standard decor for the
neighborhood. I've thought about changing it, but haven't come up
with any ideas that I felt would be better.
