Can't wait for "Lawn culture" to die out. So much time/energy/money wasted on it.
For a bit Michigan had basically banned grass seed/etc sales as non-essential and the boomer outrage was enormous. God forbid your lawn look slightly suboptimal for a while.

Well, First I wouldn’t live beside anyone , because I am weird, but I would convert any lawn into a forest, mixed in with bushes for birds to nest.


Fuuuucckkk lawns
If I ever somehow own a home, I'm going to use up as much yard space as possible on bushes, flower/vegetable gardens, and decorative pathing. gently caress lawns, they're the most boring thing you could surround your house with.

I'm literally going through this right now. My next door neighbor is working from home and has gone insane - he's doing something to his lawn every single day and has his three kids also helping out. Between the 4 of them they're seriously putting in 40+ hours a week on the lawn every single week. Putting down seed, mowing, trimming, spraying, putting down fertilizers. I don't know how you can spend that much time and constantly be doing something but he finds a way.

I just mow that poo poo roughly once a week when it's really growing, run a weed whacker, and call it a day. If I could replace the whole thing with clover or something I'd be in heaven.

Get your rear end some centipede grass.

Ground ivy and wild violets also make really nice ground cover!
Although google suggests ground ivy can be invasive so I guess you shouldn't introduce it if it's not there already.

My yard is clover, wild strawberry, dandelion, and a smattering of whatever grass has blown in. Makes great food for our bearded dragon and we only have to mow a few months a year.

Little bit of capitalism high score validating your obviously expert choices of choosing where to live, little bit of the 4 wheelers are against the home equity because the credit cards are maxed out if the ethnics start spraypainting the walls and Kevin stops mowing his lawn they're gonna repo them when we end up undewater!

Need help identifying some birds:

Have seen a lot of birds lately, need to know if any are poisonous or deadly.

1) Mostly red, but with some black, too. Pretty small. Sits in my birdbath a lot.

2) All brown, chirps a lot, smaller than that first one but not by much.

3) Big orange one, very big in fact, doesn't chirp but will fly away if you get too close.

4) Small black bird, usually accompanied by another black bird (siblings?)

5) Blue bird but it's not A "Bluebird" like the song. Has some light blue in it too, he's bigger than the black bird but not as a bird but smaller than the red one.

THANKS!!!

UPDATE: I believe the 3rd bird may actually be a coyote of some sort.

My local group is pretty ridiculous lately. Every single post is about our recent flooding. Recently we had a lot of rain and our town as well as every other in the area had a pretty bad amount of flooding and standing water. Every single one of the posts was blaming the city and taxes.

The posts were kinda like this:

Ugh, why do I even pay taxes if this is going to happen? *Picture of backyard with giant puddle in it*

So glad the city forced me to pay to fix my sidewalk! *Picture of water in basement*

Found a good picture of our newest housing development. *Literally just a picture of the lake*

Sign petition to recall Governor JB Pritzker
I live in BLAH BLAH BLAH. Last week a grass roots group was formed to begin the process of recalling Governor Pritzker for his actions and policies that are hurting Illinois. There are now 2500 volunteers across the state collecting 750,000 signatures to put the recall vote on the ballot this November. I have volunteered and am going to be collecting signatures locally to add to the list. If you would like to volunteer or simply sign the petition to make your voice heard, please reply here so I can coordinate getting the petition to you for a signature. Let's take charge, and let our voices be heard before it's too late.

Most of the responses are along the lines of, "he's just trying to save lives," but some of the responses... :yikes:

Rush Limbaugh has been pushing the narrative that " You are only seeing these big Covid numbers and Covid deaths in Blue states, not Red states"
and " The Blue states are intentionally crashing their economy with this lockdown, so they can be bailed out by the Federal Government."

Blood left from beating last night on my sidewalk
Last night I was awakened at 12:05 AM to the sound of someone being hit repeatedly on the street in front of my house. It sounded as if someone was being hit with a board or flat object. Big smacks and moans. I got up to see a dark car speed away westward. This morning I found a fair amount of blood and drag marks on my carriage walk to the street. I called the police and they came by but there is nothing they can do now. We need to clean our streets, sidewalks and boulevards of trash that has been appearing recently. Together we can solve these issues.

some lady found parts of a rabbit, probably killed by a coyote, in her yard and was afraid that it was left there as some sort of mob message or gang intimidation because those are the more likely reasons a mangled rabbit carcass would be in your yard clearly.

A woman on my neighborhood Nextdoor freaked out because she found a headless rabbit in her front yard and was absolutely convinced that a person did it and left it there for her specifically as a threat. About a dozen or so replies telling her it was probably a cat (pretty much anything but a cat would've eaten the body and left the head) would not dissuade her from the idea that someone was out to get her.

Must be exciting thinking someone cares that much about you.
