    A boat in the middle of the desert with a propeller no less says it all, I'm sure no one questions your lawn mowing habits. :)

    I keep my lawn cut and it never really gets long at all. Looks fairly good but I also am right next too woods so I do not edge like I used too

    I cut the grass and seed any bare spots from various toddler toys. Fertilize every so often but just basic maintenance.

    You're in violation of a city ordinance here if your grass gets taller than eight inches. So we try to stay under that.

    My yard looks alot like Christine's ... Minus the air boat. I have 2 tractors, cattle trailer(rusty), utility trailer, car trailer, rusty broken lawn mower, building that is about to fall apart.... and ruts from going in and out of the field all winter.

    But hey, I did mow today for the first time this year!

    Our enclosed trailer is in the driveway and the flatbed trailer is in the front yard. ;)

    Galt, there's a 10K acre lake 10 miles south of here. :-D

    We had a 30' x 64' pole barn back in il. Now we just have that dilapidated building. We may knock it down and put up a decent outbuilding.
    You can't have enough tractor or pole barn. Or guns and ammo....

    I hate mowing...lol. I don't care about mine at all to be honest. I live just over 1/4 mile off the main road and driveway is gravel. Got one neighbor at the top of hill. No one ever passes by me so I don't worry about it. Maybe when the boys are old enough to mow I might care more....lol.

    Y philosophy is even weeds look good cut. I cut it about every other week one it gets warm. I always cut it the week before turkey season so I don't have to waste my Sat. doing yard work.

    To me mowing the lawn was like therapy. I was very thrilled to own my first home and to mow the grass that grows on my dirt was very cool to me. Plus we live on 75'x100' lots here and taxes on my street range from $3k- $24k a year so you make good use of every square inch. If I go to someone's house I always look to see what they did with there back yard and landscaping. Not landscaping your yard to make it usable space to enjoy is like people having basements and never finishing them. Having the size property some of you are talking about is like a wet dream to me:)

    I'm actually try to buy 5 acres now that corners my lease on two sides. Part of it is low lands that stay wet most of the year but I'd put a board walk through the area on post to make a nature trail out of it. I'd manicure the whole five acres so it would look like a natures preserve and build a cool little hunting cottage on it. Leave it natural but manicured. But that's me:)

    Unfortunately I have 9 holes that I have to care about how my lawn looks. And about $15,000 worth of fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers, growth regulators to make that happen. And about $200,000 worth of equipment to use mowing it. When I go home it's the last thing I want to do, but it's in my DNA lol.
