Amidst the gloom

Rain. Clouds. Cold. Damp. Lowering skies. Mildew. To work in the dark. Home in the dark.
Winter's wonderful.
And the garden, in theory, has shut down. Leaves have fallen. So how come the grass keeps growing? So that it needs mowing?

Well, some of it is slumbering, but here and there are signs that spring is ahead. When the weather permits, mowing the lawns actually is rewarding.
