I had a fairly large yard backing up on forest on three sides in the back, two in the front. I decided at some point that mowing was just stupid and gave up on it. I was thrilled with what happened in the back - it was just like this. Flowers started growing, including some I'd never seen before there or since. Birds came and started nesting in the middle of the long grass. The front, I gave in and mowed it a few times.
I lived across the street from this retired military guy who literally mowed his lawn every single day, riding mower on like half an acre. You couldn't even tell the difference between where he had mowed and where he hadn't gotten to yet. This guy had a bumper sticker "Never seen a FLAG burned at a GUN SHOW!!", whatever that meant. They invited me over to their backyard a time or two where they drank Busch Lite and grilled hot dogs over old furniture (seriously). Nice, but well, hmm. Anyway, he drove his mower over and mowed my front yard a time or two when I was out of town.
