Wow I went out side. I saw ferns, I'm in love with ferns, ferns will be my life- I'm becoming fern.

( Digital Drawing ) Feather Tail Gliders

The world's smallest gliding mammal is found in Australia. Living in tree hollows, they pick fresh leaves and carry them curled in their tails to stuff the entrance of their nest.

Hey, so I'm very much on board with the whole "don't do lawns! Native plants/growing food instead!" thing (current house has exclusively Australian native plants actually planted in the soil, though we do have pots and planter boxes of other stuff, and it's been that way since my grandparents put the native plants there in the 80s) but how does it work when you really need somewhere to run around?

Personally, I often run on the footpath outside my house, or go to a park, but that works because I'm an adult and know how to not get run over by a car. When I was a kid, though, I'd run around on the lawn at the house where I grew up (a rental place we got evicted from, hence moving into my grandparents' place) and it was good, because I didn't need to get parental supervision and the "how to not get run over" rule I learnt first was "don't go past the gate unless supervised".

Anyway, I've been thinking about the possibility of having kids (not imminently, or anything, but thinking about it as more than a vague hypothetical) and don't want to have that possibility equal "guess I'll have a lawn and a picket fence and stuff" but also don't want the kind of yard that could wind up with a toddler tripping on a snake nest I hadn't noticed or something.

Advice, please?
