Nice Pictures.
what do you see in them?

If you leave the lawn unmowed for long enough, native plants will move in all by themselves. :)

By then my wife would have killed me.
That’s what I really miss about the west. Big skies. Crispy cumulus.
There’s a feeling of a heart reaching out for it that I’m having right now.
