From a man with a most unruly yard, I commend the effort.
I am extremely pleased to announce that the long-awaited D. Mills Baker International Lawn Refuge has finally been completed and was dedicated today in a very moving ceremony attended by dignitaries from across Ills Manor.
Originally conceived as a place where citizens of Gaia could witness beautiful, undisturbed, uncut, natural lawn, replete with all the fauna and flora that live there, the project -modestly named after one half of the heteroduplex pair who rule Ills Manor and its environs- took on additional urgency when I learned recently that there are some who do not even have lawns.
In a moving letter, the always-wonderful Little Potato lamented that all she has to compensate her for her lack of lawn in the poor district of the United States where she lives, a barrio called “California,” are trifling trees too old to be in style and the occasional small lake.
Moved, I decided to rush the project ahead and finalized the barriers protecting the region from the surrounding land, which continues to be logged and mined to the benefit of Ills Manor’s many citizens. It is now open to visitors from around the world, and admission is completely free.
You’re welcome, Earth.
