What should Mahogany do about her lawn?

[mahogany]

I'm going to try to convince my dh that we should get rid of our lawn. I've never been a fan, and I've decided that this might be the year that we get rid of it.

I'm thinking of overseeding my lawn with a wildflower mix with flowers that are native to the pacific northwest, with some extra fragrant flowers thrown in.

Really piss the neighbors off - get a couple of goats. They'll eat the clover, keep the lawn trrimmed, and be good for meat and/or milk (depending on which sort you get) if and when TSHTF.

I'm not sure if goats are allowed in our city, but I do know that bees are allowed. Chickens are allowed in certain in the GVRD, but not mine, unfortunately, though I believe the approval is in the works. If we had a slightly bigger place, and my husband wasn't completely bee phobic, I would consider bees. Oddly enough, city bees are healthy and not prone to colony collapse, or so I've read.
