Take A Look Around!!!!

Todays challenge involves taking a walk around the complex and taking a good look at your surroundings. We want to invite you today to involve your senses on your next nature walk. We are, of course, always experiencing the world with our senses but taking the time to be mindful of what we are seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling brings the process to the forefront and makes it meaningful. We want to encourage you to take the time to really look at the world around you.  Walk slowly.  Your purpose is the journey and not a destination......

Unfortunately, we tried and what we see is a complex in need of some serious lawn service....We're not sure what exactly is included in our Lawn Maintenance contract but we know one thing for sure, it isn't Lawn Maintenance!!!! The edging around the trees is all torn up and damaged, the edging near the buildings is a mess, several reports say the bench by the pond is damaged......etc.  If you're up for a real adventure walk behind buildings 3,5,7 & 9....but before you do, take precautions and bring a sickle so you don't come up missing. (Oh!! Wait!! Maybe that's what happened...story for another day)

Here’s the thing: Starting a lawn- and landscape-maintenance service — a business that can do as little as mow the grass or as much as fertilize and prune shrubs and trees — requires little more than a mower and business license. There is almost no required training. So how can consumers feel confident that the person turning their lawn green knows his or her stuff? You don't know, until you try, and this experiment has failed. We should revisit our lawn service company when this contract expires and find a company that cares as much about our home as we do. Let's be honest though, that'll never happen, it's too green on the other side....wink, wink!!!!!
