Haha, oh yes, grass seems a bit frivolous, but so common here in the US (at least our part of it). Though it is definitely nice for kids to play on! The boyfriend sure does dislike having to mow it. 😂
On the other hand, he would love more brick! The base of our house is brick, but then halfway up it switches siding. The brick holds up a lot better and needs less upkeep than the siding. Where did you live when you were here?
Grass is common here too...but definitely not in our area! Water is used to water animals and the food for both animals and people! I wouldn't call it frivolous. If we could I would definitely have a huge patch of it.
I was there a long time ago. Over 20 years ago. In MA, just outside of Georgetown. About an hour's drive from Boston. I love New England
Oh nice! I really enjoy visiting New England, as well. We went up to Boston then up into New Hampshire and Maine a few years ago. I have been wanting to get back ever since. So much beauty to explore up there.
I was thinking frivolous more in our "perfectly manicured lawns at all costs" mentality that is common here. 😂 One of our neighbors has a shady area that they tried sodding no less than three or four times before they finally gave up and planted some shade-loving plants.

So much beauty! My favourite time of year in the US was Fall. Those colours are special. I only went to New Hampshire a couple times. To ski. We don't get that much snow in SA - just on the mountaintops if at all. So skiing was an amazing experience
Fall--Swoon! We don't get much snow down here in Georgia either, so snow still always seems magical to me. Though I don't think I could live where it snows all winter, haha!
