The back yard got mowed this morning!! It still needs to have someone (me) go through with a weed trimmer and get all the details but the little prairie which was starting to grow got sheared back to lawn height. The compost bin is now full of grass clippings. If, from this point onward, I mow on a regular basis I can let the mulching feature of the mower chop up the grass into tiny pieces and leave them on the lawn.
