joe and i were shocked when we went outside today and saw patches of green grass poking out through the leaves in our yard. it’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything green, thanks to this wonderful drought that is plaguing our state. and, to top it off, we had a nice little rainstorm this afternoon. it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, and i really hope it does. in fact, i’d take rain every day for the next few months to start replenishing our lakes and getting us out of this drought. but i don’t think that’s going to happen.

Wow! Imagine that ~ seeing grass in December! haha 🙂 We’re getting even more snow right now. Ahh, grass … I can’t wait until spring! 🙂 Hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend!
There’s certainly been a lot of precipitation up north–hope you get some!
Same thing in our yard! We got rain Sat. most of the day & more on Sun. morning that totalled 2 1/2 inches which was great but I know we need LOTS more where that came from 😉
Our canna lilies are growing back and we cut them back 2 months ago! Little buds coming out the ground – go figure. I am sure tehy are dead now b/c it is f-ing cold today!!
