Spring is in the air and it is lovely!<\/p>\n
I mowed yesterday. \u00a0I love to mow. \u00a0It is one of the most relaxing activities I know. \u00a0Just you and your thoughts and the attempt to make the lines in the yard as perfectly straight as you possibly can.<\/p>\n
We have a lot of wild onion grass in our yard. \u00a0Enough to make the eyes sting as I mow. \u00a0Yesterday, I had to take a tissue with me. \u00a0As I mowed, my eyes would well up and my nose would begin to run. \u00a0I would pause the mower (a John Deere Z425 zero turn radius~sweet mower!), dab at my eyes, blow my nose and move on. \u00a0The yard looks infinitely improved with that onion grass trimmed.<\/p>\n
This morning, around 2:30 am, I went to let Paxton, the dog, outdoors to do his “good boy” and WOW! \u00a0the smell of onions about knocked me over! Powerful stuff, that onion grass!<\/p>\n
I mowed over many tiny Forget Me Nots, Dandelions, some Clover, some itty bitty white flowers that come up every single Spring…I Love Spring!<\/p>\n
Today while running with the running group, I noticed that the Japanese Magnolias are in bloom! \u00a0The Maple trees are doing their Spring “thing”. \u00a0There was a field crammed full of purple clover…tons of things in bloom! \u00a0I really love Spring!<\/p>\n
We have wild Daffodils all over the place! \u00a0I think that is one of the coolest things about living in Mississippi! \u00a0I never knew that Daffodils grew wild! \u00a0Every Spring they pop up all over the place. \u00a0Gotta love it!<\/p>\n
We passed a house that had turned their verge into a perfectly round smiley face! \u00a0I think that may have been taking things a bit too far, but hey, at least they are happy, right!?<\/p>\n
We have seen brand new baby calves. \u00a0The co-ops are selling baby chicks and ducklings. \u00a0Everything is Spring! \u00a0Spring! \u00a0Spring!<\/p>\n
Gotta love it!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
