Today marked the ceremonial First Day of Spring at our place -- the first mowing of the lawn. Although there's lots of brown spots yet, as the raking is not yet complete, the grass was about 5 inches high in the corner where I spread the horse manure two years ago. I've also come to the conclusion that much as I hate raking leaves of deciduous trees in the fall & spring -- the detritus of conifers is much worse! The extraction of the mower, and the carefully choreographed path around the yard will be a weekly ritual for the next few months, until the heat of summer turns the lawn brown. The dance resumes in late August or September, with the cooling of the days, and a fresh spurt of growth before fall arrives.
