The "S" Word

Depends how you look at it I guess ....

First of all I wanted to share these pics from yesterday. Little Grass Sprouts in bare ground - new lawn appearing!!  It has been quite dry, and as we have water restrictions that hasn't meant for quick sprouting - so I am pretty excited to see these little plants!   

And we usually get a few weeks of glorious, nearly iridescent Spring Green - it is starting to look like it may finally arrive.

     Now about the "S" Word - We need the moisture , it is only JUST cold enough for these pictures (below) to happen - and hopefully it will be warmer in a few hours... even by tomorrow..? - I did bring the plant pots inside - This is what we woke up to this, this morning - We even had to turn the heat on inside!
The good thing about "S" in the spring is that is quickly turns to liquid, and the ground, now not frozen, soaks it up - you can almost hear the lawn drinking! That pic on the right is the barest lawn patch we have - quite a Large Bare Patch - well-seeded about a week ago, so NOW lets see What Will Happen!

Two days ago it was over 75 degrees - this morning I put on my winter coat when I went outside with the dogs! Not to be toooooo superstitious, but maybe I shouldn't have washed it before putting it away for the summer. lol!

     These guys are just some of the 'crowd' waiting inside!! We are all living in hope.

Fortunately it is not cold enough to need a frost blanket, and as I finish posting this, the pics attached are starting to look like very old news - and that now the greening up will commence....

we...are...pretty...sure...about...that.
