We may have a lot of green in Scotland but we also have a lot of mud caused by the incessant rain, and then there's the gales - well, enough! We can complain whatever we've got :) Hopefully you will be surrounded by a sea of green in the not too distant future. Greetings from Bonnie to Bleubeard.

I do the same thing with my Australian friends, they are hot over there and we are freezing over here. We keep saying we want to trade. My friend in California got the sprinkler out this past weekend for her kids. They spent all weekend outside playing in the sun and water. SIGH!! I told her I'd be on the next plane out, lol. <br />Have a great weekend! Are you ready for one month from today??? I can't wait to see what you do for your Earth day/birthday plans!! <br />p.s.

We have green most of the time but we don't have snow but we also have plants everywhere in most cases but I don't see much of that in your area either, like garden beds with roses etc. Smile on the bright side of things is you don't have to mow the lawn. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing <br />Hugs ElizaElizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921884729737495356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-84764860755661826322014-03-21T17:46:29.128-05:002014-03-21T17:46:29.128-05:00It was interesting to see your part of the world. ...It was interesting to see your part of the world. It is so very different from UK and from here in Spain. We are starting the warm season much browner than usual, as we had very little rain this winter. It is a pity we can't pipe some of England's excess over here. But it is always good to see spring arriving. I hope you have some green grass soon.

I have only seen a very small part of the USA, the area round Cocoa Beach and Disney World, ad then Fort Lauderdale for a couple of nights before we flew home. Geoff's nephew and his American wife live in New Jersey so I occasionally see picture of their area. My lawn looks green until you look harder, and it really needs some good soil and seed scattered to fill in all the gaps after the appallingly wet winter. It might recover, given time. grass is amazingly resilient. I think the mathematical mind works for those tests, because it generally reads the question properly, rather than just a couple of words and jumping to conclusions. I do not have a mathematical mind at all, and I learned to speed read at junior school. An interesting exercise though. xx MaggieMaggieC (Silvercrafter)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13560733295194874288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-45760583702480875382014-03-21T16:25:14.412-05:002014-03-21T16:25:14.412-05:00Enjoyed seeing your street Elizabeth.I have been s...Enjoyed seeing your street Elizabeth.I have been sneezing my way through another week..will this "bug" ever go!
