Take Back The Corners

When I first bought our house twenty plus years ago,  we had a relatively large back yard.  Now, however, the yard is much smaller.  Why?  Did I plant trees?  No.  Did I add a pool or pond?  Nope.  I didnā€™t even make a pretty Garden.  So, what did happen?  Well, about thirteen years ago, I took a job in a local store.  I worked much of the time,  and so mowing the lawn became everyoneā€™s job.  The problem is that when otherā€™s mow, they donā€™t like to mow the corners.  It was a small thing, and at the time, it wasnā€™t worth the fight, so I let it go.   As I was looking at our yard,  I realized that all those years  of not mowing the corners had taken its toll.   What Iā€™m understanding is that it is incredibly easy to give up the edges,  but itā€™s super hard to take back the corners....
