growing a child within our body is not easy. No childbearing is not a disease or an illness but it isnt easy always either.

Well Sam we are always told not to mow the lawn and that it will recover when it rains.

I don't know how we would put up with smoke, it all sounds so awful especially for infants.

I often wonder about exhaust fumes. I suppose we want rain. Take care. 🌺

Oh, no! The smoke from the wildfires seems to be everywhere. It is so hard on the lungs. I'm so glad I do not live in an HOA community. Their rules can be so ridiculous at times. Continue following your gut instincts.

Good Morning

Sam444, I think you did the right thing and skipped mowing this week.  I would politely tell the HOA that they must have entirely too much time on their hands.  If they look outside, I'm sure they can tell the air quality is bad.  I'm so excited for your daughter.  I wish her the very best.  I hope you have a great week.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the HOA with the air quality either...HOAs are so annoying.

When I lived in western Washington & traveled often to visit mom and my sisters in Salem, we all worried about forest fires, about some careless tourist tossing a lit cigarette butt out the car window. And now with climate change, the situation has gone from it could happen to OMG! Stay safe & cool and let the HOA whistle Dixie until you can get at the lawn.
