For me, it’s sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I’m driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I’ve loved it since I was a child and I’ll never stop doing it!

    What you now hear is the sound of a few generations of American dads weeping for their lawns

      If you want a boring, pretty much dead monoculture of a patch of grass, you gotta work for it. ;) I think that real nature, including useful plants for bees and other critters have much more value. Children should play on lush meadows with flowers and interesting insects to discover, instead of a mentally and visually dull organic carpet, that is merely a facade for wannabe-perfection.

        Totally agree with you. As small as my patch of lawn is, I’ve still thrown loads of clover, nasturtium, compost, etc. I’m trying to help it become a self-sustaining ecosystem, but I’ll admit, I’m kinda winging it.
