Posted on March 20, 2015 by Jim Stewart

Moss spreads through my lawn.
It’s green and soft: no mowing.
What is wrong with moss?

    Love moss! Often thought I’d prefer a “moss” to a lawn–better for dancing barefoot upon.

    Nothing’s wrong with moss. 🙂 Our lawn is full of it…

    Moss makes me think of my grandparents’ gravesite. Not a bad thing.

    I love moss! I’d love to see that much green…no moss in drought-land!

    Elizabeth Gilbert has the thickest novel out in which the main character becomes an expert on MOSS. *grin* A work of art, the book.
