Spring Green

Verdant

One of the nice things about Kentucky is that there's usually some green in the landscape. Even in the winter, some of the grasses stay fairly green, and the fields of winter wheat are always refreshingly green.

But in the spring, the glorious spring, Kentucky becomes so richly, exuberantly green that ordinary words can't describe it. That's when I remember my daughter's description of an especially green field as "verdant." It was a good choice of words.
