    I went up to go knock on this door because of how overgrown the lawn was when I saw the front door padlocked shut and a notice from code enforcement from over 6 months ago. So, I spoke with the next door neighbor to get a little bit backstory on the home. He told me the owner lives over 7 hours away and the city has given up on sending people out to cut it. The overgrowth is really affecting the drainage in the area and looking horrible for everyone around it. So, I decided to get it all cleaned up and looking amazing again.

    You inspired me to mow and trim my elderly neighbor's backyard last summer. We share an alley. She's alone and can't afford to pay anyone for it. It was a really small yard but it took me a long time. I'm in my 50s, disabled, and only have a push mower and cheap weed whacker. That damn grass was as high as my knee. The feeling I had afterwards, besides a bit of pain, was humble elation. I helped make a difference in her life. She said it was nice to know she still mattered (I cried after she said that), and her dog could walk in the yard again. Spring is coming... more kindness to sow, peeps!

It's not the exercise that ruins one's body---it's a lot of other contributing factors like stress, poor food choices, and becoming sedentary. YOGA isn't just for 20-somethings either. Gentle stretching and beathing will help.

    God bless you Spencer! That is very hard work you do for free. When my husband was in the USAF we lived on a street with elderly people all around us. When he mowed our yard, he mowed the yards of several elderly people for free. In the neighborhood we live in now, he mows our Nextdoor neighbors yard for him too. He says it was a lot easier back then when he was in his mid twenties. Now he is 66 and it’s not as easy on him but he enjoys helping people out. I pray that God blesses you and your family in a big way for all that you do!

      The Chernobyl area is a clear demonstration of how quickly nature reclaims abandoned areas. You can even look at the pandemic a few years ago to see evidence of that.

Also, in Sardinia, a naval port basically shut down, and a few days later, there were fish and even dolphins.

      ​@@marcup1584I agree, but maybe it'll show the county that they need to hire a new contractor because the complaints stopped for a while. Lol. Idk where this is but in the town I grew up in, in SE Texas, it took forever to get anyone to do anything about overgrown lots, especially in the country. So all of the local rednecks would get together with their big equipment and would mow the lots to keep animals and trash from accumulating more. The county started paying them to do it. Sometimes it just takes doing it once, sometimes it takes a lot more civil crap.

      It's too bad that the people in the neighborhoods don't take turns running a lawnmower over the places once in a while. It seems like many times, the people who own the places are old, in a nursing home, or dead. It would make the neighborhood look nicer if they did, especially after SB Mowing gets all the big stuff done.

      So, you think the neighbors should have to constantly make up for the homeowner's negligence?

      It's one thing to help the old lady next door with her groceries or mow your neighbor's lawn when they're on vacation. It's another thing to expect neighbors to maintain a lawn that's not theirs just because the owner CBA to take care of it. Maybe you should be complaining about the homeowner, who's actually responsible, instead of acting like others have a duty to compensate for the owner's inattention.
