our lawn
T: Do we have an old sink?
S: What, like a kitchen sink?
T: Yeah. An old one, just kicking around?
S: I know where there is one.
T: Really?
S: At Christine's, in her basement, but it's a double.
T: could we get it?
S: What for?
T: I want to put it in our front yard.
S: Do you want a toilet to put beside it?
T: yeah! And a bathtub. And a stove - tipped onto its side.
S: You're weird.
T: I lost Mitchie in the yard yesterday.
S: Huh?
T: Mitchie. I lost him for a few hours. I finally found him in the lawn.
S: Wait - - - are you making fun of the un-mowed-ness of it?
T: Oh. My... Are you only figuring this out now?
Yeah Steven, because it's totally not that bad. Everyone's lawn looks like this.
We are officially hillbillies. Only, we don't have the luxury of having old kitchen sinks kicking around to toss into the front yard.
This is a weed - you'll notice that it's actually flowering. Isn't it pretty?
It probably helps keep out intruders. Would you want to wade through this? Probably not. You'd never find your way out, especially under the weight of whatever it is you find to steal. Would you mind grabbing the old kitchen sink?
Steven says (jokingly, I hope) that we have a nice wildflower look to our home.

On the other note. I want more kids in the next year, and our lawn looked worse than that for weeds, so I have spent all summer weeding it once a week or soo. Our neighbors whole entire front lawn is weeds that keep putting more in ours, so I had to keep doing it. I did it knowing that, God willing, I will be too busy next year to do it, so I tried to keep up with it this year.
I think a sink and other house hold appliences can be done in a tastful non hillbilly way if you try really hard, and use them as planters I guess....lol. I would be the one that would try to make it look good. lol
