My neighbor is O.C. about her lawn. Obsessive/Compulsive.
It's actually become a source of great amusement for me. She barely lets a few days goes by without firing up her mower again.
I could probably use a little of her compulsiveness when it comes to lawn care. So over-grown is ours, that she--and all the neighbors--probably have a pool going as to when our lawn will get its first 'haircut'.
Twas supposed to be yesterday but instead I weeded, pruned and hacked in preparation for mowing. You see, we have more plants and shrubs than actual grass, so it seems more important to improve the landscape than the lawn.
Does that make sense? The neighbors may not think so either. At any rate, the lawn will get cut; the bamboo will get thinned; the roses will bloom. And the world will keep turning...
...while Neighbor Lady keeps mowing...
and mowing...
and mowing.
Perhaps it is Lawn Therapy.
