Loving my easy lawn care tips
Do you long to have a perfect and easy lawn – one you know will look fabulous but not take days of your life maintaining?
I certainly do.
I love my grass to look fabulous. I like to sit n my deck and admire it, picnic on it, even (when I am feeling really lively) have a game of footie on it with my kids. Some mornings I venture out and do Tai Chi barefoot on my lawn, early in the morning.
That’s a pretty perfect start to my day right there.

Here are 5 I think are awesome and that I want to share with you:
