green grass???

it's the middle of winter here and i have green grass in my front yard. huh?

now for some of you folks from the coastal areas this is the norm but from up here in the rockies, it's not. i'm used to sooo much snow that it doesn't melt until may. not that i'm complaining. i'm not a huge fan of snow unless there is lots and it's a sunny day of sledding or skiing.

this lack of snow and warmer temps are another yahoo for the list of good things that this move has given us. i swore i would never live in the "ugliest city in canada"*. the hub had to convince me to even look here when we were looking for a new house. but now so many things have fallen into place for us here that i'm loving it. note: not that life is perfect but it's going really well for us.

and just think of the beautification that we added to the city... LOL

the green grass is helping to look even more forward to spring which brings summer, my fav season. hmm camping.

spring/summer help the every winter-induced depression i seem to get especially around christmas...this year was one of the worst but that's for another post.

so on a happier note, cheers to green grass. now if the hub and i could just clean up the leaf piles from last fall :)

*seriously our city was named the ugliest city in canada a couple of years ago for it's lack of greenery/flowers, crappy roads and just plain ugliness and i'd have to say i would have to agree, not a pretty town.
