Until recently, it was starting to get pretty crispy here in this part of the country. We had a lot of very hot days coupled with long stretches of zero rain this summer.
So it seemed odd that, even with the heat and lack of rain, we still had a lot of green around. (When my husband is in haying mode, he is preoccupied with grass). He looked at me one morning and said
"Dew!"
"Do what?" I replied.
"No, 'dew' as in dew on the grass! THAT is why it has stayed relatively green this summer!" he exclaimed.
And I remembered that there were many summer mornings this past season when my shoes got soaking wet when I went out to feed critters. Not because I had managed to splash water all over them (I have done this though) but because I had been walking through the grass on my way to the barn.
Dew doesn't get a lot of credit, not like it's big cousin Rain or even bigger cousin Thunderstorm. So I just wanted to say thanks to Dew for keeping us green instead of brown...we love Dew!
