Fall

Fall has fallen.  The temps have dropped the sun is being hidden more and more.  The irrigation system is turned off and the lawn is greening up.  My "lawn" consists of many green plants, some of them are actually grass.  There is also clover of some kind, weeds, dandelions, and of course the perennial favorite, moss.  Moss has trouble in the summer here in Oregon, but it holds on and flourishes the other 9 months of the year.  Weeds can be dug up or pretty much taken care of.  Moss is a different story.  It's always laying around waiting for a day just like today.  Gray, cool, and an all-day light rain.  If you listen you may hear the moss sighing with happiness.
