I dislike manicured lawns and gardens. It looks artificial.

Strange, I like it, possibly having parks work in my dim and distant
past, though it's nothing ,like mine.
I'm surprised no one has picked up on the patches on the lawn, I wonder
if he has a female dog?

In the actual newspaper photo they're not visible. Photoshop?! I thought
the saddest thing I read was that their son wasn't allowed to play
football on that lawn. When I think what my lawn looked like after the
children had 'mown' it on the little tractor, kicked a ball, done
'Wimbledon', played around it hiding behind trees and shrubs with bb guns
(think that's what I mean!) we'd all barbecued many, many times, adults
sitting out until dark chatting and wining and dining, dogs digging holes
etc. that lawn was full of memories for me and all of them good ones.
Whatever floats your boat etc. but I'd hate to go to my grave with
everyone saying "well.....she had a tidy lawn"!

My lawn was *mown* by my geese. They kept it quite short, good enough for
me.
