Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It’s just moving scenery. It’s kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It’s the way you keep your grass mowed. It’s the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.

One of the most important things I’m glad we did and am proud of is that we don’t have any real grass on our property. It might not be realistic to ask people to pull out their grass, but we’ll never have to think about it. We used Smart Grass, and I think it looks beautiful.
