Tinge of Green

There seems to always be the discussion of when we had green grass last year, or the year before, one that usually concludes hazily. But this journal serves that function photographically, and our rain events quantitatively.

Of little nutritional value, last year’s regular rainfall left us with plenty of old feed to carry-over that helps hold moisture and also serves as protection from frost. And though it doesn’t appear from a distance that there’s much green on the hillsides beneath it, the new grass is coming along just fine. High temperatures have been in the mid-60s with a rain forecast for next weekend. It’s been like spring.
