And continuing with the good news - you just taught me the correct name for what I've been calling Velcro Weed.Sure is peacefull around here without yards crews working the neighborhood. Surely they feel they are essential & are going to out messing with peace & quiet! I was hoping on hiring a crew for a spring clean up, but the thistles & catchweed laughs @ that.
Don't know what part of Texas you're in, but it will be a while before anything around here dries out enough to mow. I'm thinking of stocking catfish in my front yard if it rains again.
I do have money errmarked for a spring clean up you might be able to earn cash or barter!I probably need to cut my grass tonight. Good thing my lawn mower has a headlight on it. Shame I don't live next to @baboon
You need to live out in the country

Mines about 2 acres with a million things to mow around and divided up into several areas. Takes forever. Glad I’ve got a 60” zero turn.
Rural living. The pros definitely outweigh the cons.
I have had to live in large cities over the years when I was traveling and working. I don't miss it one bit.
Up in the midwest they saved that for the dead of winter.Not when they spray manure on the 40 acre silage field next door...
I heard lawncare services were considered essential due to keeping the grass down in spring to keep mosquitos at bay. Since that's coming next.
Upgrade to a commercial mower. I went from the heavy duty Hustler residential mower to the Scag commercial mower and now mow in about half the time I used to. And it has a full floating deck to act as a suspension. Between yard, roadsides, around the shop, etc., I probably mow a little over 4 acres each week.
