A meadow for my front yard

Our usual weed whackers have been booked up, so the meadow in our front yard has had plenty of opportunity to grow — especially after the spring rains of a few weeks ago.

I’m actually kind of enjoying it. It’s been fascinating watching the various grasses grow — some of them almost as tall as I am! — and seeing how they change over time.

I also think about how it’s providing a complete ecosystem for all sorts of little critters. Actually, I have some mixed feelings about that, given how many of those critters seem to find their way into our apartment!
