Green, Green Grass of Home

There is only one time every year when the grass on the farm is as vibrant-green as it is right now. When the sun warms the ground for a few days and the spring rains fall, the grass breaks dormancy and puts on a gorgeous chartreuse sheen the likes of which haven't been present in a year. It will spend perhaps a week, maybe two then will fade to a deeper, less brilliant hue, not to return for another year.
