What's that Green Stuff?

I ran yesterday and there appeared to be some foreign material on the ground.  It was greenish brown.  Odd.  I've only seen white powder...or white ice...for the last few weeks.  It felt nice to reconnect with Earth.  But what is that green stuff?  Holy cow, it's GRASS!  Not the healthiest looking grass, but brownish-green grass none-the-less.  I knew the new year was going to be great.  We have grass on the trails instead of snow.  Hope springs eternal...and Spring is around the corner.  Keep plugging away and before you know it, you'll be complaining about the heat.  Runners are very connected to nature.  Weather affects us on every single run.  Rain, snow, wind, sun, heat, cold, snow, ice, fog...it's all good.  Keep running and connecting to nature.  Appreciate all the seasons.
