And I never mow milk weed! I always have some growing in my flower beds. This Summer I saw more Monarch Butterflies than I have for the last couple of years.

I actually tried to mow at a lower level but the mower started to struggle, so I move the blade up a notch. Unfortunately, more rain is on the way so I don't know when I'll be able to mow, again. Weird, weird year.
