We have water restrictions in summer when we are not allowed to mow our lawns or wash our cars in the driveway. A sign of the good citizen is having a dry, yellow lawn!

I can't image why they decided it but they would have had good reasons for it I guess, suprising choice for x. Love it

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones
Have a nice ABC-Wednesday / _ Week

Calling by from ABC Wednesday, so green!

Yes good idea, although I do know people whose greatest pleasure seems to be regular mowing.

We seldom have water restrictions as we have so much rain,
my husband loves and takes great pride in keeping the lawns
in trim order, definitely a British thing !Good word !
Every good wish for a happy and peaceful Christmas
