I've wished I had taken the time to do the same series of photos of our summer-dead lawn over the past month. From dead brown to spring green. What a little natural rain can do!
Oh that green looks sooo good! After the first rain we got, the weeds started growing right away! The lawn is trying to green up now, finally! We got 1.1" this week. I'm still holding my breath for my lace leaf maple to make a comeback. I don't want to lose it. It's about 25 years old now. It got pretty well fried when we had that awful heat wave.
It's supposed to be cool this week. I guess we'll see.
I hope your Japanese maple survives, Jeanne. I have a thread leaf maple in a pot on my deck that looked completed fried, but then got new growth on the tips of its branches – hurray!
I'm a blogger - I love comments! Oh, and you DON'T have to check that box proving you're not a robot; you'll still be able to leave your comment without it!

Enjoy your green!
These kinds of pictorial studies are fun.

ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Elaine!
Love the progression. How smart of you to think of that.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a perfect time lapse! Green is such a great gauge on our thumbs! Just sayin… the saving grace for me is always water, however. Lol !
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a couple of days can make! It's like how Papa God can refresh our dry, thirsty, souls, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI would love to do that sometime!
ReplyDeleteWith rain bound to come at some point, Donna, I knew that there would be transformation EVENTUALLY, so took that first photo.
ReplyDeleteThere's no water like rainwater, is there, wyomingheart!
Yes, just like that, Mokihana. :-)
Aren't your pastures ALWAYS green, Sara?
