Grass

before the rain comes the grass, I must mow and edge along the sidewalk finished, first raindrops fall

I too have a small lawn. Being small it is easy to maintain and it adds beauty to my garden. Once your mowing is over, let the rain fall and bathe the Earth..... !

It feels good to get rained on every once in a while; it's refreshing if I can just stay calm and enjoy it instead of reacting to it like it's bad. The birds and flowers seem to like it fine. Thanks for the comments, Valsa. Hugs, Bill

Still trying a few different forms for fun. It takes writing a few before I can get them the way I like them. I finally got the landscaping done for this spring. Maybe I can be a little more consistent in June. :-)

It's fixing to hit us for 33 straight hours if our weatherman gets it right this time. Mowed today. I'm ready. Bill

a true indicator that spring has arrived--the sound of lawnmowers and the smell of freshly mowed grass. Nice!
