It looks the way I was trying to get my yard to look when I had a yard.

I haven't downsized to a condo yet, but I've downsized to a place with a 'yard' the size of a postage stamp......I can mow my lawn in 7 minutes....with an electric push mower.

I think for a lot of folks there comes a point where you realize that that the yard you thought you owned, actually owns you. When taking care of it, stops being fun, and becomes a chore, it's time to move on.
