THANKS TO PETRA 55 FOR A GREAT PHOTO..............

I KIND OF LIKE THE LOOK OF THIS...A KIND OF "ENGLISH GARDEN GONE WILD." SERIOUSLY, SOMETIMES THERE ARE WEEDS THAT ARE TOO PRETTY TO MOW. I ONCE HAD AN ENTIRE BACKYARD OF LIMBS IN MY MIDWESTERN HOME THAT BEGAN TO BECOME A HABITAT FOR ALL TYPES OF BIRDS AND SMALL WILDLIFE. I LET THAT CONTINUE FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS, ESPECIALLY ENJOYING THE LIBERATION OF NO MOWING EXCEPT THE MINIMUM. FINALLY, IT BECAME TOO MUCH; NEIGHBORS BEGAN WHISPERING AND MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT OUR BIRD SANCTUARY. WELL, REALLY, THERE IS A LIMIT TO HEIGHTS AND I CLEARED IT OUT. A FARM IS WHAT ONE NEEDS FOR TOTAL LIBERTY WITH LIMBS, BIRDS AND BRUSH
