One of the things that I like about my house is that there is nobody behind me. The way the neighborhood was laid out, there is a huge, triangular space behind my house that falls in the middle of the lots.
In addition to that, the back half of my backyard is totally wild. It has been that way since I moved in. I've tried to tame it a few times and lost.
But at this time of year, I like it all wild. The birds love it too. They'll get in a pseudo line for the birdfeeder by perching on all the nearby branches.
