Critters
Most municipalities will claim that they regulate the height of lawns to prevent critters from taking up residence. It's a lie. They do it because all politicians are at heart power-mongers, and they instinctively want to regulate everything.
That being said, the grass in my back lawn is way too high. How high is it? I had intended to mow it Monday, after getting back from the parade, but when I looked out the bathroom window that morning, I saw a small brown spot, about the size of our neighborhood ground hog, but lighter in color. And then it moved, and I could make out the shape of a little deer head.
My grass is tall enough deer feel safe dropping fawns in my yard.
Luckily, momma deer retrieved her spawn this morning. I was worried I'd have to figure out how to dispose of a twenty pound deer corpse. Apparently adult deer don't hang around little ones until they can walk, so as to not attract predators.
And it wouldn't matter how short my grass is, until they pave the Euclid Creek Reservation, there will be critters in my yard.
