Lawn wannabe- Grass coming soon? The mud will be transformed into a living lawn by summer.

This dirt mud and snow is waiting for an extreme makeover by the builder. The winter came too soon for the lawn to be installed last fall.

Now the kids and pets are anxiously peering out the window in hopes that a carpet of green will soon appear.

Lawn care experts are predicting a later than normal spring, so it may be a while before the young are rolling on the lawn instead of squishing through the mud.

Mothers are keeping the washing machines on standby- the detergents at the ready. But are muddy socks better than grass stains on the knees?
