Another shot from the garden. It has rained a lot today, so I played with the light to make it come out starker and more autumnal than the ones taken earlier in the week, when it was sunnier.
Actually, I do prefer it cooler, but bits of the UK are on flood alert again (and we're on a flat bit). I should take a photo of the lawn, though: green and growing, Treebeard would surely approve.
I was amazed in NC to see that the brand new grass verges along the road had had sprinklers built into them.
We Yanks are crazy for sprinklers. And those built-in sprinklers you saw are probably on a timer that activates them even if it's raining, which I've seen happen.
We may destroy our water tables, we may pollute our rivers with chemical run off, but, dammit, we WILL have green grass, and we will have it EVERYWHERE!
We will have it on the verges, we will have it during drought, and we will have it in the desert! We will never surrender!
