If we're away or on vacation or sick, we ask our friends to look after the garbage cans, and they ask us, as well. Don't worry, however, the HOA doesn't enforce garbage can rules after a couple of notes...no fines! In fact, only landscaping designs and deadlines are being addressed, at present.

The frequency of mowing isn't the focus of the lawn section of the letter, it's that the length is designated as 3-4" long, maximum. It's an optimum length and too many residents cut their lawn WAY too short and they burn up so they panic and overwater and overfertilize.

Don't worry if you haven't gotten the letter, it's on its way and you can stop by the HOA to get a copy if you want one and have been overlooked.
