That is actually kind of beautiful. Unless you are on the ground of course
We need a federal law against requiring grass lawns. People need to be legally protected when they want to replace with native/edible plants.
We mow just often enough to stop the township from sending angry letters. So about once a month of that.
The city I used to work for tried banning mowing certain times of year, and had to back down due to all the lawsuits coming in.
My current city is trying to ban leaf blowers (they’re terrible in like 8 different ways), but that’s also very difficult.

That looks nothing like my yard but still don’t see as many LBs as I used to. People blame yards like the one here and pesticides, but I don’t know. I felt like in the 80s and 90s there was an even bigger obsession with manicured yards and people found the most toxic stuff they could get their hands on to spray around their homes. Still had tons of lightening bugs then.
