    No way!!! Up here in Maine there's still quite a bit of snow. The mountains just got a few more inches of snow yesterday. It will at least be another month until I will have to mow the lawn. (Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing)

    I mowed Grass Thursday, but I would not say spring is over by any means. We had a low here this morning of 39*F. Supposed to be 74*F tomorrow. So I would say we are right in the thick of Spring!!

    We won't mow yet - too many flowers have sprung up on our lawn out of nowhere - narcissus and grape hyacinths. Also bluebells. But soon.

    Yep, mowed last week. Spent the morning today sharpening my mower blades.

    My yard has more "wildflowers" than it does grass! LOL

    Mostly invasive exotics, though. Dandelion, henbit, and the like.

    Still a bit of snow around here. Did see some folks out pushing mowers, not sure what they thought they were doing, the grass isn't growing yet. Maybe picking up last year's leaves. We got our first snow before Thanksgiving, haven't been snow-free since. Caught a few people off-guard, didn't get all the leaves up.

    Lawn? Haven't see it since November. Still at least 6 to 8 inches on the floor here. Probably won't have to mow until mid-May.
