Moss and the Yard

As we patiently wait for the weather to dry up a bit so we can get out into the yard and start our spring cleaning, here's what is looks like.  From a distance, it looks great -- only when you get a close can you tell that the moss has overtaken the yard a bit.  Each year it gets better, but we still have to put moss killer (iron), de-thatch the yard, and reseed the grass.  We don't dread it...we actually look forward to it because it is a sign of things to come (it means we survived another winter).




The irises are popping up...hopefully we'll have more than 1 flower this year.


The moss is much more visible in the front yard.  It is easier to tell where the water pools when it rains a lot.
