I get it. Dandelion and clover aren't for everyone. But would it kill people to throw a small polinator garden into their landscape design?
That's a pretty happy median. People keep their golf course but also help out the local polinators, which have a significant importance in our ecology.

Amazing pic. Love the glowing green field in the bottom left. Such a juxtaposition.
I really need to get a legit camera...similar views from 60-70mi on the other side of the rock pile today.
Started at 39° and made it to 75° currently at 74.5°. Pretty hard to pull 35 degree swing here - sea breeze usually kills it.
Winds out of the west ftw.
in a few weeks my "lawn" will be a multi-color canvas of green, yellow (dandelion), purple (creeping charlie), and white (clover & violet flowers). It's beautiful. Gotta have variety, chief.
Stalled at 2.35", not sure if it's a dryslot or if there's a easterly flow/elevation component now because just inland is getting smoked. Bet Lava has more than me at this point.
How much ya got so far? Winds are supposed to rip overnight here. Ground is fully saturated so I imagine we'll take some down if we gust 50+ mph. Staying very safe.
Nailed it.
Plus, lawns absorb 0 carbon and mowers emit a relative f-ton.
I wish more people would work towards grass-free yards. Rock or woodchip-based with native flowering, food-producing, or carbon-storing species throughout.
some cool features on satellite this morning - one on the MA/NH border and one in Casco Bay caught my eye
