my wife won't let me mow our allotment garden because of the butterflies
(she's actually right, we have a lot of endangered species visit our garden, so I am never allowed to mow more than half of it at a time).
There is also a bit of trend going on here at the moment for people to let their gardens run wild instead of keeping them all squeaky clean. how times change!
I have reduced the lawn area over the years, and haven't been mowing the Back 40 as often as I do the front. Also have added a number of natives, such as the white flowering bush, and the ornamental grasses in those two beds. Sadly the back is overgrown with lots of nasty invasives, which I can't manage on my own. Good on ya for helping the flutterbyes!

Got fitted for a replacement crown - lost one a couple of weeks ago. P tolerated her new chemo well, and I got my monthly pedicure today. Friends coming in tomorrow. A decent week.

Thereâs more than populations involved. Also think laws and economics. There are already divisions, very evident. Start with education quality or payroll differences.
Heâs not the cause, just catalyst for something thatâs evident regardless. He just might highlight the obvious: the States have diverged too much for a central, rational, considerate governance. A rule good for Maine might not be as welcome in Arizona or Florida, depending on many factors.
We could always wait for it to worsen, but I donât think that way. I see trends.

counterpoint. This current man/cult are simply the culmination of a movement that has been evolving for a couple of decades (likely more depending on boundaries and definitions). A divestiture is just the result of the stuff 'they' want. Actions have consequences and all. I used to think we were stronger together. I now believe it's not even good for the kids if we stay together. The first years will probably be hard, but we'll eventually settle on visitation rights.
