We have had a ton of rain lately. In Michigan, the joke is that there are two seasons: winter & construction. I feel the same about Cologne -- except the two seasons are summer & rain. This disgusting crop of mushrooms in our backyard popped up OVERNIGHT!
On the other hand, our driveway looks incredible with all the bright green moss in between the brick pavers. I actually think that this is frowned upon by the Germans. There is not another driveway in our small neighborhood with moss growing in it. If I were a proper German, I would be outside bright and early (but not on a Sunday) scraping the moss out from between the pavers.
Of course there are a slew of other signs that we are not German: our lawn that is desperately overdue for a mow, the dead leaves in the street in front of our house, the weeds in the garden, and plants in need of "dead-heading."
What about you? What are you neglecting in your yard?

Somehow I am not surprised that Ben is remiss in his lawn mowing duties! I bet he is counting the days until Carter can take care of it...
Watch out...someone might want to come and smoke your mushrooms...haha...
I think the pavers look COOL with the green.
