We've got several very large pine trees...don't have a problem with the grass.

So I used the money to buy a cutting torch instead.

Re: Homesickness "grass is greener" syndrome
My wife's is a bunch of tiny stones, little diamonds and emeralds mixed up in a white gold ring as she doesn't like yellow gold. I couldn't afford much, I was 22 years old and working as a janitor when we married. The stones kept falling out and we kept having them replaced. Eventually there was so much solder on the prongs holding the tiny stones in that you can now see more solder than stone. Last year I asked her if she would like a new one as I can afford a (slightly!) better one now, maybe a single stone that's big enough to see anyway. She said even as it is, the ring means more to her than any other ever could and she didn't want another one.
