Georgia is mighty green this year. Really green and beautiful.
I am transported to the Georgia of my youth before years of drought squeezed the verdant lushness out of this place summer after summer.
When I was a kid, it was semi-tropical around here. Humid was a word often heard. But not the last few years. Arid and dry were common words.
I'm not sure I could live somewhere else (I've never tried) because I am not sure I can live without all of the mazillion shades of green that exist in summertime Georgia.
Each tree has its own shade of green, each plant for that matter. The rivers greens are enough to heal one's soul. The moss, the rye grass (which in drier hotter years would be long gone) - all green.
As long as I live, I will always love summertime in Georgia.

It's really been great this year, with all of the rain. My lawn is green again!
The green cemetery planned for this area is on the coastal plain. The plants and landscape are very different. I may need to go back to earth in the piedmont plain part of Georgia. The very non-green County Commissioners passed ordinances against the Green Cemetery, making it against the law to bury someone without a "leak proof casket and a vault or {get this} an aquifer". The whole state of Georgia is over an aquifer. Maybe I should blog about that non-green aspect of Georgia soon.
