Yesterday was a typical "early Spring" rainy day. There is still frost in the ground, so the puddles were bound to form more quickly as the soil resists absorbing the moisture. The only hints of green that I was able to discern came from the moss on the oak trees. By this time of year, even our evergreen trees are less green than they are for much of the year. Their color has been dulled and they exhibit a bit of brown and yellow.
