The grass is always greener....

Or is it? What if you didn't see any grass... for a year??!!??

So I had my chat with Doug last night and while we were discussing his day to day life now, and his surroundings he started talking about all the sand and mud around. Yes... I now it is sandy there, that was not the issue. It is just the little things that most of us do not stop and consider. Doug will not see grass for a year! To me that is just odd and sad at the same time.

It is one of those things that most of us take for granted. We mow it, we fertilize it, we gripe when we have to do our lawn maintenance weekly! But I would rather do all that is required so I have the opportunity to walk barefoot in the grass, vs. not having any grass at all. What about you? Have you ever imagined not seeing grass. I don't mean Arizona no grass, because after-all there is some grass there, right?

When Doug gets home, depending on the season, he wants to mow, weed-wack, edge and all the "fun" stuff that goes along with mowing. After last night, I can understand more clearly the "why" behind it. Lets be honest, I never stopped to think about it much.

Alas, I will put on my lawn clothes and go do the yard in a few short weeks without Doug's assistance and be reminded that he is gone for another Spring and Summer season. After all, my favorite part is to mow, since we have a riding lawnmower :)

I guess it is a good reminder for all of us to stop and smell the fresh cut grass, smell the flowers blooming, and the smell after a spring rain, just because we can!

Have a great weekend y'all!
