Take a moment to look around at properties here in the neighborhood.  We are asking that all homeowners at least take a moment to mow the ditches and banks on front of their homes.  That iarea is a part of your property and it is your responsibility to maintain, per the covenants. 

We have a nice quiet neighborhood and it should be maintained.  As property values fall we should be doing everything we as homeowner can do it counteract that.
