It was quite a change at the end of last week. As the rain started to come to a (sort of) end and the sun started to break through. And everything seemed to turn green.
Maybe it was just me. But it seemed like things got greener. The leaves finished popping out. Other plants seemed to put on a growth spurt. It just seemed to happen all at once.
I know we needed rain. It sure helped the fire situation. But it also made my lawn grow. A lot. All at once.
Sure, it made a lot of things grow and a lot of things turn green. On a weekend walk through a hemlock grove I was shocked at how green it was. The tree’s, the moss… everything seemed to have gotten greener.
But I swear I heard my lawn go “sproing”.
I like the fact that things got so nice and green. I like that we got rain. I just don’t like that my lawn grew almost overnight. Which means I have to mow it again. I was hoping maybe it wouldn’t, but it seems like it wants to jump up.
It really is nice to see most things growing. To bad we can’t pick what grows and what doesn’t.
