The Lawn that Wants to be a Meadow
With the past few weekends either much too hot or too rainy, the back lawn has had a respite from my lawn mowing! ;)
So I went out and mowed and decided to leave some of the "meadow" that was starting to appear. I left several of those tall "weeds" whose flowers look like miniature daisies, and I found a low-lying "patch" of tiny wild strawberries, which Ian (our 6-year old next door neighbor) and I sampled a few of! (Very seedy and crunchy, not much flavor, but very fun nonetheless! ;) So I left those, too.
No way I could turn the whole yard into a meadow because we use it, but a bit of meadow here and there peeking out from the typical suburban lawn certainly is a very fun and interesting thing, imho! :)
