Spring in Hiding

Our lawn is dead. There's just no way around it. It has been dead since last summer when our sprinklers didn't work and our landlady didn't do anything to remedy the situation until summer had almost passed. My roommates were slightly passive-aggressive about the whole situation and I was out of the country for most of it. Point is, our lawn is dead. It's very sad.

Yesterday morning I went out to my car and found this growing in my lawn. It brought me much thrill and giddiness. (Please note the dead lawn in the background.)
