Time to mow the lawn!

We have been anxiously awaiting our explosion of green and it is finally here!  One thing we noticed last  year is that the move from the browns and grays of winter to the misting of green of spring happens very very quickly.  One day its brown, the next it is green.  Its a bit jarring how quickly it happens but it is also kind of thrilling.  It doesn't all happen at once, of course, and we've been seeing blades of green grass starting to come up for a short time now but those bits of green are well hidden in the brown and then finally, there is enough that you really see the green and it has finally come :)  The day the green came back was fairly pleasant, too, so we spent some time outside.  W had to practice running and then he and my Busy Little B mowed the lawn ;)

And I know the pictures still look fairly drab and brown--the closeup view is not that impressive but when you look out over the yards, you can really see the green popping out instead of brown :)
