It's time to bust out the lawn-mower and rake and start tidying up the yard! Now that the weather is warmer there are more people outside on weekends working on their yards and planting flowers. Fruit trees have also been a popular choice and I've seen several of my neighbors planting fruit trees in their front yard. I've noticed that when one person starts working on their yard, that it can influence their adjacent neighbors to do the same.
I think it's important to take pride in the neighborhood we live in and keep our homes looking nice, on the inside AND the outside. It makes our individual neighborhoods and the city a more pleasant place to reside.
