We could use some rain -- fire danger rising around the state. Yes, even after the floods. There's this gap between snow-melt and greening up, where all last year's brush and dead grass just lays there like a fuse waiting for a match.
Speaking of dead grass, I have to mow the sections of our "lawn" that the beetle grubs didn't wipe out over the winter. Avoiding, of course, the white violets until they have stopped flowering. Funny thing, the grubs didn't eat dandelion roots or any of the other weeds that House & Garden declare anathema in the Great American Lawn...
I think there's a moral to be found somewhere in that, but maybe I won't search for it.
