Does picking up the dog poo in my backyard count? The snow melted away to reveal a whole lot of grossness. yech

Was that a place of wonder (why do they DO this) or cleaning up a naturally beautiful site? Plant ivy. It eats poo, it doesn’t have to be mowed, it harbors beneficial insects and small animals, and unless you don’t like lumpy snow, it always looks great.
