Beautiful, Lindsey. Don't you just love the SMALL minds of people who run these associations? Our daughter's homeowners association decreed that she must have 3 rocks in her yard on the side that faced the street. (She's in Arizona). Several times she has had the rocks stolen! Why don't these people just get a life? Last winter was pretty tough on everyone. I lost my pink muhley grass and I noticed on our way to FL, many people had suffered the same fate with their ornamental grasses.
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
