I decided three years ago to stop mowing my lot. It’s a little over an acre, about 25% covered with a stand of white pines.
I just didn’t see any benefit in using gasoline and creating noise to remove the habitat for nesting birds and other critters. Now, I live in the country, agricultural /residential zoning and no HOA to deal with, so it is a possibility.
And I know @Ray_M_C_Laren is probably cringing at the sight of it!
Front door - Lame (fresh paint, new carpet soon (says the landlord))
Backdoor - I am fortunate to be in one of the two apartments (out of 8) that has one.
what a gorgeous sight! But a bit too early for snow 
Very nice 
LOL, thank you for this, even though it’s probably in jest. The other posts were killing me! My view is garbage – a house literally 15’ on each side, and apartments behind. Meh, at least I have a roof over my head, I guess.
OK that’s it, I’m done with the internet today.
Sorry, I hope I never offended. My home is helping me stay motivated to enjoy being sober. I just love working around here with the sea smell in my nose and not spending anymore time moaning and groaning about a hangover inside.
I hope you enjoy your weekend 
Your house is BEAUTIFUL. No need to apologize. Thanks for sharing a little corner of your world with us. It looks peaceful.
Thank you. It is and I love my life. Well every part of it except my lack of control once I have a drink. Twice per week getting smashed then 2-3 days per week recovering was leaving me 2 days a week to try and live and appreciate what I’ve been so fortunate to have built. I do not wish to take things for granted any longer.
