If you don’t want a yard, move into a condominium. Don’t cover all your existing yard with black tar paper and ugly rock, which will eventually sprout weeds anyway. There are a million ways to have a low-maintenance yard and this is perhaps one of the worst. There are two tiny fat dogs who live at this house. I see them on the porch sometimes. They probably wouldn’t be so fat if they had a place to run.
Good point!
I couldn't agree more it is sad to see. As a side note, love the word rankles. It is one of those words that I start repeating and can't stop – a bit of an OCD moment I realize.
