“She’s s real lawn Nazi...”
A coworker of mine, years ago, complained about a neighbor who wanted to get “yard of the month” so bad that he chased off all the kids (including his own), and constantly watered, weeded and fertilized it.
I came in a couple days later and plopped a bag of wildflower seeds down in front of him. It took a few seconds for the light in his head to come on, but then he didn’t stop laughing for ten minutes. He put it to good use.

Yeah, I don’t begrudge her her lawn. (Besides...I’m sure the weed and feed would kill the wildflowers) I walked across it once, and it was like a feather bed. That was when she had people coming in to maintain it. It’s about 300 square feet. I’ve watched her mow it a couple of times. She picks up the mower and moves it so the tire tracks stay in straight lines. I could do without the tacky concrete animals/angels, but it’s her yard.
