We are participating in No Mow May this year,  and I've got to say it's really fun to have an actual ecosystem in our yard.  We've got a ton of different plants and flowers,  lots of birds and insects, a very Bailey Ober-sized bunch of dandelions and a few spots where you can tell small critters shelter at night.

We've also had neighbors inquire if everything is OK and if we need help,  but no one has called the HOA on us yet. I don't know if we will hold out to memorial day,  but it's been a very interesting experiment.

Bailey Ober makes his triumphant return today to face the Royals. I've haven't been impressed with KC. They kind of look like a mess, but not a fun mess that's good for bees and small wildlife.
