The trend is to do away with as much grass as possible, at least where I live, anyway, as it guzzles water and needs so much attention to keep it looking good. <br /><br />Eagles are such majestic birds. What a lovely sighting had graced your world today :) So glad Gracie also got to enjoy the sunshine with you!
