I think it's.... GRASS!!
We've had about 3 days of rain this week and had a wee bit more about a week and a half ago. All around us is scrubbrush and dried grasses in clay-dirt. We were beginning to wonder if any of this ground vegetation was green at any time. In our yard we've started to see strips of grass where we water the trees and cactis and along roof-runoff area (where the rain goes off the roof...). Also we were beginning to see grass across the road where our water from our washing machine goes. ( our washing machine is outside and the water runs off our property onto the street and settles along the curb across the street). Things were looking green.
But just the other day we were looking at the lots across the road and beside us and sure enough, between the car parts and pieces of garbage, there is grass growing! It's small, but it's green! A very welcome sight from our normal pantheon of browns we enjoy!
It hasn't been that exciting of a week! The rain has kept us away from most places without pavement. Thankfully we live close enough to pavement and gravel roads that we can get out and back in, but there are lots of places in canyons and gullies we can't get to...
I'm trying to include pics, but they just won't work with blogger these days, I don't know why!
Until next time,
mike

Oh man! I only wish! There is so much snow here in Loon Lake I fear spring shall never come! Yesterday after yet another snow storm Loon Lake was mentioned on the news for having the most snow in this province...le sigh!
hey-- we sure would like some pics of a snowy loon lake!
Our boys are missing the snow. Next cold rain we have, we may go up to the mountains to see snow- it depends on how bad it gets- sometimes they make you use chains when its snowy in the mountains...
