I got a nasty letter from an anonymous coward complaining about how I keep my lawn.

I dont give two shits about the grass. Bare minimum is all it gets. I also did a round of overseeding with microclover. All the retired boomers in my neighborhood have nothing better to do than dick around with their lawns.

I have every intention of making mine into a meadow or something. Need to figure out what I can get away with.

In the meantime, I will be making a Halloween display that will feature skeletons sitting on top of some pallets (letter writer was mad that I had one leaning against my trash can for a week) with trash cans and a whole bunch of weeds and crap. I also have a spare tire that was used to secure a transmission I bought down to the pallet. I also still have the broken transmission.

The whole mess will be going into the front yard, skeletons will get trucker hats, beer bottles and maybe a banjo.

I can't wait!
