Grass Grows Fast:

 It seems that the grass grows very fast here unlike in the mountains of Colorado. We get more rain for one thing and sun. In Colorado I would mow the grass around the house maybe two times a year but here the temperatures are sufficient that grass/weeds grow faster. 

With all the rocks and steep terrain a weed eater is the weapon of choice for cutting weeds and grass. It seems that much of my time is spent with a weed eater. This time in Colorado it would be getting in firewood. I think this is easier.
