The back yard was the worst. Knee high garbage that I had to let the mower chew through while taking breaks in between rain spurts. Rain is so cool!

My yard doesn't look good yet. And there is absolutely no landscaping aside from the seven or so mature trees on the lot. That's my wife's shit. I'll mow and weed eat, but I'm not landscaping.

I mowed my lawn the entire time we were under contract and the day before our movers showed up. I didn't want to do the neighborhood like that not mowing it and I knew it was likely the last lawn I'll ever mow in my life. I had a city lot it KC, took me 15 minutes to mow, front and back. That gets classified as a park in Chicago.
