Well, this is odd. I can see the photo in your email, but not on your website. In any case, it is a lovely garden, and it made me think of a story I heard on All Things Considered this evening about a woman in Ohio who refuses to mow her lawn. She's letting it grow wild. Maybe you could plant your "lower 40" with wildflowers and leave a meandering path through it, like this one. Then you wouldn't have to mow so much.
If anyone is interested in the story by the Ohio woman who won't cut her lawn and is letting it grow wild, it's here https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/08/03/my-town-calls-my-lawn-a-nuisance-but-i-still-refuse-to-mow-it/ with a link to the White House's Strategy to Protect Pollinators. There isn't a hug difference between Sarah Baker's wild lawn and the one in the picture, aside from the convenient mown pathway and slightly more deliberately grouped plantings.
Hello All.... I tried to fix this image so everyone can see it. Hope it works for you now. Thanks for the warning that it had a problem. It's so lovely. xo, Rosemary

Interesting, I can’t see the picture here either but I can see it in my feed.
