I ran across a Washington Post story about a local (well, nearby anyhow) company called “Lamb Mowers” which allows you to hire a herd of sheep to “clip” your grass and also eat up invasive plants, poison ivy, and other undesirable vegetation.

I have such a small yard, it probably doesn’t make sense to truck a bunch of sheep in from Virginia. But it’s still sorely tempting.
