Is Anything More Frugal Than Not Mowing?
Q

Despite the original posters overly extensive post, with certain questionable content, the central point is still quite vaild. We as a nation spend more money on grass than on any other crop. That by itself should be reason enough. Read up on the history of lawns and you'll find that they were orginally created as a means of demonstrating wealth (aka, I have this big area and I can afford to do nothing with it except grow grass I can't eat) Regarding the comments of junegem13 and zachslc, you might want to read up on the legal history of this movement. As it turns out, most weed laws (ones based on hight, not on noxious weeds) are unconstitutional. Nonetheless, if you are in a city or subdivision and decide to do a wildflower meadow where there is not an reasonable ordinance, then you should notify your neighbors and the city about why you are doing and the legal preceedants. The EPA has all this information. Regarding property values, that was the original complaint neighbors made against one landowner when she converted her lawn into meadow. When they were unable to demonstrate an actual decrease in property values, the city ordinance was ruled unconstitutional. Afterwards, the neighbors decided if they couldn't beat her that they'd join her and replace their own yards with meadows. Property values in that one neighborhood are now some of the highest in the city (Specific names and places, are available if you want them). Time and time again, lawn alternatives done correctly have shown to raise values, not lower them. In Charlottesville, VA local government is working on an ammendment to exclude native meadows from our weed ordinance. Other cities are doing the same very quicky, especially since the weed ordinance as written by many localites constitutes a legal liability to local governments.

I found the tax shelter in this posting when searching for a gift for my brother. He is a tax preparer and has everything. So I just had to share what I did for him. I took one of those woodcraft houses from Walmart- removed the two screws from the base. I cut a 1" block of wood that fit into the bottom of the house. I glued this block onto the base thus allowing the top of the house to be easily lifted off the base. I cut a 1/2" groove in the center of the block with the table saw so I could set a card of thumb tacks into it. This was hidden in the house until the top was lifted off. I wrote a poem for this & read it to him while my daughter did a Vanna White presentation of the house. Everyone got a good laugh out of this and I finally did a complete craft project! It's been a while. Hope you have as much fun with this as we did. Here's the poem: I drew your name for Christmas It's an honor, don't you know To get my brothers name for Christmas Ah! ashopping I will go. But then I started frettin After searching high and low Whatever will I get 'im (Twas wrong to worry so!) I went into an office shop Maybe something for your desk? I talked to the clerk a lot She tried to aid me in my quest. He could use a tax shelter Is what the lady said It seemed a bit off-kelter But there was nothing left instead. So here's your little shelter All painted so very nice The foundation has been mended The roofs' been polished thrice. The flowers are all blooming In the big pot by the door The bumblebees are buzzing And there's no sawdust on the floor. It seems to be the perfect place I do agree she's right It sure beats a plain old case And your tacks! They're finally safe at night!

Piggy Sue update...pig rotten...picture

That's one reason I think spaying her will be a good idea. She will be more satisfied just hanging around. Also, I think the SPCA, who sent her here in connection with the Wildlife Center, would feel very badly if she became unmanageable and hurt me or I had to find another place for her. The reason I call the wild one in the pasture "Baby"...that is what I call all the coons, etc. here. When I put out their food, I say, "Come on, babies...come on, babies."

That is the cutest pig but when I first looked at it I thought the wings were HORNS!! and wondered how it was an ANGEL piggy when it looked more like a little devil!!! HA!!

When I wake up tomorrow (it's now after midnight - I go to bed late, tooooo) I expect you'll be finished with it!!!

STILL not happy with it!!! Just can't get the colors as vibrant as I'd like(pink)The pig is just too small? Anyhoo, Yesterday I scored these dishes and will be doing something with them, I have a 4 tiered shelf in mind, thats been waiting to be mosaiced for 3yrs! Or....(racking my brain) some idea will come! Also got 12 8"sq bricks for $15!!! My thoughts on those are a) a wall made the riana way with these bricks incorporated, b) said wall made with concrete bricks made custom by me to the same size as these glass bricks, C) light blocks made to light up the path to our shed/DH's sauna room, d)make individual ones and sell them!(So I can go to Texas!lol)

Good progress, but the ball chain I THINK, changes her attitude - looks like she is saying "now what trouble can I get into? Not as innocent looking.

I bought a cool book today at the ts, a book about garden ornaments, put out 1971!!! It has lots of cool stuff that gives me ideas to make my own way!!! Really neat hanging things to do metal craft also, like wind chime type hanging thingys/w faces. I'm going to grout piggy in pale grey grout and if it don't look right I'll paint pink, my 1st idea.
