Flowers are starting to bloom here
in the Northwest and folks are ignoring the drizzle to prepare their yards for
warmer weather. At this time of year I always think of Mr. Melcher, a celebrity
in the Bay Area neighborhood where I grew up in the early Sixties. Mr. Melcher was famous for
having the best-looking yard in the neighborhood, but you won't believe what he did one year. Read about it (here).
My mom and I considered getting a goat one year because I would never have much time to mow the lawn. While I don't do a lot of things southerns are known for, thinking about getting a barn-yard animals to take care of a growing lawn definitely was southern.
