Orange Grass in the Spring

Micah says to me this morning, "wow.. Mom! The grass is getting so orange!"

"Orange!" I reply without thinking. I was thinking of the time we had an orange fungus once in our lawn. How could it already have a fungus!? It isn't even green yet! 

Then, I look out the window and see the bright green grass that has suddenly appeared in our yard. We've been getting a lot of rain and the occasional warm day around here. (Back to a high of 39 tomorrow.) The grass is loving it and literally turned green overnight. 

Or if you're colorblind, orange.
