Sheep as a mowing alternative! Where do I sign??
By MARY BETH BRECKENRIDGE
Akron Beacon Journal
PENINSULA, Ohio — Laura DeYoung doesn’t need a lawn mower to keep her grass cut. She has about 80 living grass-cutting machines roaming around behind her house.
DeYoung raises sheep as the owner of the Spicy Lamb Farm in Peninsula, Ohio. She’s also a partner in Urban Shepherds, a coalition of sheep farmers that’s promoting the use of sheep to cut grass by grazing instead of using humans and machines.
Another cautionary tale of overzealous, easy-money development, this one out of St. Louis

Who in the world doesn’t think a home inspection is a good idea? Who? Planet name and solar system, please
Surprise!
“Almost nine in 10 (88 percent) adults say a home inspection increases their confidence about the condition of a property,” according to the American Society of Home Inspectors.
Surprise!
Not.
Here’s what else the ASHI found.
Of course most people think home inspections are worth the time and money.
Who in what world doesn’t think so? I mean, I know some people don’t think so. But what planet are they from? I wouldn’t buy a brand-new house without getting it inspected!
What do you think? Disagree? Do tell.
