Grassy Snow

Last summer, while we were on vacation, our neighbor watered our gardens for us.  When we got home, there was this very odd patch where the grass had died.  The neighbor apologized for it, which was unessacary as it was certainly not his fault.  But in the late Fall, I had a small Chinese boy looking for jobs to earn money, so I sent him out to this spot to turn over the dirt, put some grass seed down, than then sprinkle some dirt over the top to cover the seed so the birdies wouldn't eat it all.  To my surprise, it's late February and the grass is about an inch tall and in some places, growing in standing water!
