Smells like spring! Aaaachoo!

It's supposed to rain for the rest of the week, which I guess is why yesterday all 10 of my closest neighbors cut their grass. Now the whole neighborhood looks beautiful and neat and the air is full of the smell of fresh cut grass! Achoo!!! Okay, so while I do in fact love the smell of fresh cut grass, I am totally allergic to it. Yesterday was spent nursing a bottle of aspirin, with all the windows closed in an attempt to keep the offending allergens outside. It didn't really work, it never does. On the upside, since everyone just cut their grass, I won't have to worry about it again for another week or so. :) So here's to that beautiful green stuff, that for some reason we seem to like to have around our houses! Enjoy! :)

And the Green Grass Grew All Around

There was a hill, in the middle of the woods,
The prettiest hill that you ever did see.
Well, the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this hill, there was a tree,
The prettiest tree that you ever did see.
Well the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this tree, there was branch,
The prettiest branch that you ever did see.
Well the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this branch, there was a twig,
The prettiest twig that you ever did see.
Well the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this twig, there was nest,
The prettiest nest that you ever did see.
Well the nest’s on the twig,
And the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And in this nest, there was an egg,
The prettiest egg that you ever did see.
Well the egg’s in the nest,
And the nest’s on the twig,
And the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this egg, there was an bird,
The prettiest bird that you ever did see.
Well the bird’s on the egg,
And the egg’s in the nest,
And the nest’s on the twig,
And the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this bird, there was a wing,
The prettiest wing that you ever did see.
Well the wing’s on the bird,
And the bird’s on the egg,
And the egg’s in the nest,
And the nest’s on the twig,
And the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around.

And on this wing, there was a feather,
The prettiest feather that you ever did see.
Well the feather’s on the wing,
And the wing’s on the bird,
And the bird’s on the egg,
And the egg’s in the nest,
And the nest’s on the twig,
And the twig’s on the branch,
And the branch on the tree,
And the tree’s on the hill,
And the hill’s in the woods,
And the green grass grew all around and around.
And the green grass grew all around!

  1. Thank you for the feature! I'm not much of a fan of grass, there are so many more interesting things to plant...like a mini orchard or citrus grove or a cactus garden! But, a small patch for kiddos is so nice. :)

  5. Thanks everybody! I'm glad you liked the feature! And yes my allergies are doing much better, especailly since I started taking zyrtec every day! :)

    Summer - My husband (who is in charge of cutting the grass) agrees with you completely! Unfortunately, catus gardens wouldn't work this far north. :)

    jdavissquared - I'll check out you're sight right now. :)

    Lucky Girl - You are very welcome! :)

    soapstar - Ah to be a kid again! I don't think I ever had allergies till I got to high school. C'est la vie!
