2. Food-colored the snow green.
It was the only obvious option.

3. You really did it.
Did you do the whole yard? The wind is blowing so hard here that I'm afraid I'd end up all green myself.

That's quite a nice effect.

:rofl:

4. Didn't have enough to do the whole yard.
Also, my fingers started to go numb, and I think I have trigger-sprayer-induced carpel tunnel developing.

But it was worth it.

Thanks for that cathartic gesture!

Bitterness is ours! :pals:

7. Quite possibly.
A lot of people are driving past my house rather slowly.

13. Oh, I'm pretty certain the neighborhood has an opinion of me.
I'm just hoping it's not based on the Lara vs. the trash can fiasco (which involved a lot of swearing and kicking on the part of one of us.)

10. Lara, did Mr Spock beam down and take a leak on your lawn?

Or was it the leprechaun, after your lucky charms? :evilgrin:

15. I'm hoping I didn't stain the siding.
In the case that it did, it will be one more argument for repainting the house.

20. I'm not crazy enough to try the hair-dryer melting technique.
That TOTALLY doesn't work. It just burns up the appliance.

18. There's still snow up there?
Flatlanders. That's what you get for living in the middle of the country. :P

Nice spray-paint job, though. Can't blame you at this point--I may be in Maine, but the snow's been gone for 2 weeks at least now, at least down on the coast.

21. Three days ago, it was close to eighty.
The weather is completely schizophrenic. It gets a little bit old...

26. Oh Jesus, sounds like Maine, somewhat.
We hit eighty, or close to it, last week, I think. It's 60-something now, but at least we haven't gotten snow again.

Summer, though--true summer's about 3 weeks long here, what with the rain, fog, mud, and then the start of school. :eyes:

the Snow Art movement.

Alas it is only seasonal.

Like "Wintumnspring" or something.

Be forewarned,though, it will stain stuff.

Or the smile.

30. Well there you go..
Your lawn's almost as green as mine (the real deal). I really am amused that it was warm here in MD and I flew up to MN and it was warm and the moment I leave..Snow again...:D

32. My son is flipping out and convinced I've killed the grass.
He's so anal-retentive.
I think he was switched at birth.

31. If I had not been allowed to see the author of this thread, I'd know it was you.
That's a good thing, by the way.

If I were your husband, I'd be writing a book.

It happens every year, to varying effect.

I can't have that. I'm already having grammar-related nightmares, thanks to my job.
