green

It is so green right now. They don't call this the Green Mountain State for nothing.



Seasons are short here. It was not long ago that the grass was brown. There is a short period of time (now) when the lawn we mow is roughly the same length as the surrounding field. The lawn looks like it goes on forever.

There's a fox who passes through the back field almost every day on his hunting expeditions. We see him often with a dead animal, heading back to his den somewhere in the woods. As the grass in the field continues to grow, it conceals his activity. We will see less of him even though he is still there.


The grass will get higher and higher until mid-summer when the cows arrive and cut it back to about where it is right now.
