So generous! Opening a cooling cabana to the multitudes? Extra hours in the flowers. I'll bring my friends. 23 acres! Will there be cocktails? Do the turtles know about this?
Actually, I'm feeling guilty about my silly remarks. Your essay contains useful and constructive ideas for anyone thinking of replacing their lawn and, for those who haven't read this yet, I think the key point might be near the end: "There's no reason your outdoor space can't be a haven for humans as well as birds and insects, and still provide all sorts of ecosystem services that lawns do not." I don't know why I got so excited by the "haven for humans" remark when there's so much excellent how-to advice here written by someone who's actually done the work. Sorry to sound so flippant about this yesterday. It probably had something to do with my horoscope.
Ha ha! Don't feel guilty. At work whenever things are going particularly badly, I just keep yelling out that Mercury must be in retrograde. I don't even know what that means, but it feels good to have something else to blame besides my own ineptitude.

Cocktails can be arranged.
