There's a joke here that we have 10 months of fairly pleasant weather. Then, there's July and August where everyone shuts themselves inside their homes and don't surface until September.

Trees are hit and miss, thanks to clearing, logging, and cutting. We see that in the forest where we live, but at least the builders didn't just level everything when the homes were being built. Instead, they cleared just enough for the homes and left everything else. Some owners left the natural grass mixed with wildflowers and others opted for seed and weed killer for a much smoother lawn.Tiffany Amber Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015308280449078107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-19824508466241186932022-06-11T22:04:39.583-04:002022-06-11T22:04:39.583-04:00Banjo?

Thankfully, weeds (or at least eliminating them) can teach us some great life lessons. Oh, and I love having 4 distinct seasons again too. Colorado was great, but we really only had 2 seasons: winter and summer. The rest of the year was winter and summer battling it out to see who would win.Tiffany Amber Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015308280449078107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-62158378709850090932022-06-11T22:01:36.615-04:002022-06-11T22:01:36.615-04:00Prairie grass?

You wouldn't necessarily want to frolic in it or play any lawn games, but it could do quite well in the untouched or unpopulated areas.Tiffany Amber Stocktonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015308280449078107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-58195106781842441782022-06-11T15:39:53.218-04:002022-06-11T15:39:53.218-04:00South Carolina is nicknamed the Palmetto State aft...South Carolina is nicknamed the Palmetto State after the Sabal Palmetto tree. We have decent grass in our area, but it does get very hot in the summer time and might take some watering if you want it to stay green.

We see the tall stately grass along the highway and in state parks and used as parts of flower gardens.Jubileewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681074948260157766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-89357416259914335772022-06-09T07:51:50.103-04:002022-06-09T07:51:50.103-04:00I live in the Hoosier State!

Maine is the Pine Tree State, because there are many pine trees, especially up north. So much has been logged off but there are still acres and acres of them further north. We have plenty of grass here in central Maine, which does grow well wherever there is good or even mediocre soil like our yard and we have to mow often in the summer. Many farmers have already gotten in their first cutting of hay by now. Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
