Did you get into the Rhizotron? - you were talking seeds and grasses and underground life. Love the poem ... and seeds keep bringing us life ... and green grass - it will return ... after 1976 heat = it did.

Yes, the climate has done a bit of a spin - not so much up here in the Bonny Land (The Hutch has been under cloud, cool and damp since last Wednesday), but even here has had its share of unusual heat. <br /><br />It is amazing how grass does cope with such periods. Loved your 'long and short of it' verse!!!
