The neighbors who border Arnold's lower lot, as he calls it, don't choose to mow every week. And when they do, they mow part of it one night and leave the lawnmower where they stopped until the mood strikes to mow again. Now for our backdoor neighbors. When Ralph mows you hear a roar and see legs and feet moving through a cloud of dust. Wintercreek Drive, especially the right hand side of the street, sits on a shale bank.
All water drains quickly into tiny Winter Creek that runs between our house and the street.
Dave used to live next door to Ralph, but he moved before the summer monsoon hit, so I will skip over this lawn to Darrin's place that borders on our back side yard. Darrin has a fenced in back yard with lots of trimming. This summer in his nice, plush carpet of grass he found a snake. Now he won't mow unless his wife is in the yard with him on snake lookout. It's the end of October now.
