the other signs of spring

my husband an i own two rental properties in minneapolis. they are in the neighborhood we lived in for twenty years. every year, about this time we will get the polite, yet inevitable, tenant inquiry “so, when does dave start cutting the grass? it’s kind of needs it.” today was that day. so, in honor of that annual tradition and spring right of passage, i present to you un-mowed spring grass.
