We definitely live in different climates. I lived in Fort Worth, Texas for a few years, and an indelible memory is seeing a guy mowing his lawn on Christmas. Our grass was generally dormant until we had one of those big thunderstorms. Then it would just go nuts and I'd have to mow it. So my mowing occurred at more or less random intervals. Also, I have a hunch that a portion of our yard was being gratuitously fertilized by runoff from the neighboring lawn. The ant hills would pop up after a storm too.
