We got grass, man!

Farm work is hard - let's just say that's two 4-letter words right there together!  Ok, I admit that I'm kinda lazy but seems like anything that involves working outside is going to be heavy, hard, and dirty!  We do yard/farm work at our place with BIG tools, like tractors and 4 wheelers!  So we had someone come and do some major timber cutting and firepile burning so we could have places that resembled pasture and garden, not woods and overgrown fields.  When the tree uprooting and burning was done it was time to seed rye grass.  But the little darling seeds are not tough enough to come up without some help so "PaulandLindastrawmatplacers" had to cover them up to give them an edge.  I certainly hope they're grateful!  But from brown dirt did little green grass grow and now it looks great.  God gave the rain and sun and rain and cold - hope the warm overpowers the cold until their tiny roots grab hold!
