[AJD] The grass is definitely greener!

[Gary Epps]

Having lived in Northen MI where I used more gas and time blowing snow 
out of a long driveway than I did mowing grass on a large lawn I'll opt 
for grass any day.  I just finished sowing a front lawn last night late. 
  I'm ready for some green to mow.
