    What are you drinking?

    ^^^It was once upon a time. The dogs have destroyed it in places and I've ignored it. I'm not interested in a well-manicured lawn, though, as long as it’s green. It'll look better once I clear out the brush I've ignored the last couple years. It's a mess. My shed is being swallowed but that is a problem for early winter when the ground freezes/hardens. It's a swampy mess right now. I'll snap a few pics of what I've done so far.

    EDIT: bushwhacking pics.

    If you look closely, you see where I stopped cutting the grass. At that edge all sorts of things popped up, grew tall, and drooped out into the yard a couple feet. There are also weeds/trees that look like the Vietnam jungle I’ve seen in movies.

    The driveway, which I did about ten days ago. The trunks were six to eight feet without any leaves/branches so they leaned out several feet fighting for sunlight. They were starting to encroach on the driveway so our cars would brush against the leaves. I hang my head in shame.

    It used to take four passes with the lawnmower to cut the grass on the right side of the driveway. Now, barely one.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
