This feels like advice from a patient friend. This is more useful on a tired late summer than on a perfect day.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 9 months. The texture and mood are lovely.

There is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I noticed the same thing in Mumbai.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error. The small imperfections make it feel human.

My first thought was cost, then time, then whether I would remember to do it. I keep a note about street for exactly this reason.
