The simplicity of Grass





Waking up this morning,the rain falling, made me think, the grass will grow and then what,it needs to be cut. Thinking this over,I thought of all of the wonderful things as well as the negative things about grass. How I love the fresh smell of grass after it's cut ,but hate to rake it. Oh! what a ticklish sensation I get while walking barefooted on the grass. Animals love to run and play in the grass. It's also food for many animals. Watching my husband roll in the grass while playing with the dogs, gives me a chuckle. Watching children, especially my grandchild, running in the grass with wind blowing,faces gleaming,giggles heard as "Catch Me if you Can",between adult and child. If we didn't have grass, my fondest memory of watching my husband rolling in the grass with our 5 dogs, would leave a void. Without grass there would be no longer"a carpet of green" adding extra color to the flowers in bloom. Henry Miller, once was quoted as saying " The moment one gives close attention to anything even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself."When you are outside or looking through a window,do you ever think about the simplicity of Grass, it's importance to our world?

  1. It's the small things that make such a difference! We've had more rain than normal in our neck of the woods and so everything has really grown this spring. Thanks for visiting my blog...we GA gals gotta stick together!

  2. I saw some slides last week from a school in Sudan. The principal has planted a plot of grass between the buildings. This is a wonder for miles around and people come to see it--because all they know is hot, dry dirt. Truly, grass is a blessing.

  4. I agree. Grass is a wonder and a pleasure. I love it in the early morning when the dew is sitting on the blades, the sun glowing on it. Magical.

  8. Hi Rose,
    I just wanted to stop by and let you know that when you comment on my blog and don't see it it's because I moderate my comments. I've gotten a lot of spam since switching to Word Press so I choose to approve each comment. I get them every time. I appreciate your comments on Colby's birthday party. He did have a fun time and loved it. It was probably his best day in a couple of weeks.
