A lawn is nature under totalitarian rule.
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
I mow my own lawn.
A good garden may have some weeds.
I personally won't have anything live in my house that can't move the car on street-sweeping day or grate carrots. Plus, I don't mind being talked to harshly. I want to be challenged by something more complex than a Wheaton terrier.
I grew up with both cats and dogs. I love dogs. But I'd want a big dog, and I'd like to have a yard before I get one.
There are always the kids who just love animals. Unfortunately, though, people have become afraid of the outdoors.
I don't know too many kids who ask to weed the garden.
I grew up at my grandmother's house and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid.
With upper- and middle-class lawns, there's more hidden, whereas with working-class or poor lawns, there's more out to see. It just sits right out there. Very honest. Like the people.
