Welcome back. You belong here.

It seems like everyday someone in our new neighborhood is mowing the lawn. I think it’s because most of the people that live in our neighborhood are old (late Boomers with teenage kids) and/or retired. I mean, every day someone (men and women) is fixing their yard, mowing the lawn, planting trees, weeding, seeding, 7am, 6pm, 2pm no matter the time of day, it’s non stop.

When we first moved in, it took me about 3-4 weeks to mow my lawn so it got long and “not as well kept” as the neighbors around here. Hey, moving is stressful and tiring! So guess what I got in the mail the next day? A ticket for not mowing my lawn! I called the city or Arvada, CO and they told me someone in my neighborhood (anonymous of course, else I would have had a little talk with them) ratted me in. Amazing. Even right now, my 50 year old retired neighbor is out there with his blower working away.

It’s just not what I’m going to spend my time doing around here. I bet I’m going to get another ticket someday…

Side note: There’s something here (literally in our back yard) called cotton wood (new to me). The allergies from that tree are killing me.

Have a great day,

Into the future,
