Why am I not surprised?
As long as you don't get gnats looking for them in the grass.
And your hair does not get gnarled rolling in it.

Surprised?! I never met a gnomical gnome I didn't like...especially the gnomonist and ones with gnarly hair, gnawing on gnocchi. I think gnats are gnotobiotic.

It's too early here, still frozen solid. Ground
covered in snow, but with March coming and
April the gnatcatchers will be here: swallows.
They eat lots of bugs.GNATURALLY I can't wait for Spring.

Which brings us back to "blessing and curse." In this part of the world spring is known as "breakup." As the snow and ice disappear and buds start to burst, many of the unpaved (and some of the paved) roads become nearly or completely impassable as the surface heaves and buckles and the underlying ground thaws to a bottomless soup.

With the potholes we get I cannot but imagine the
situation with your streets and roads. What a
headache.

Here in the big city (about 5500 people) things aren't so bad, but out in the suburbs…
Actually, road-building and repair techniques have improved vastly in the past twenty years or so, and much of the problem has been eased or eliminated, at least on government-maintained roads; but years ago, on the main road east of town, my wife and I were suddenly up to our door handles in mud, and it took a bulldozer to get us out. Interesting experience. Beautiful spring day, it was, though.

Somebody needs to invent a road-building material
similar to spandex. Would be great here in the Plains.

That would take care of those potbellies in the spring.

New kind of spring flower.  The grounds were crowded with bluebells and potbellies.

Spandex roads! Now that would be interesting! I got a message from someone saying that they were actually tried, of a sorts - Spandex road surfacing--- there has been such a surface invented and tested in AZ. Not spandex, but they were mixing asphalt with ground-up tires, and while it was more expensive initially, it was maintenance-free and lasted a very long time. It was a John Stossel special back in the late 90's... and I think it was either AZ state hwy 10 or I-10. Missouri was thinking of doing it, but found it was not cost effective, probably because someone at the Missouri dept of Transportation had an uncle or cousin working for an asphalt company.

And use up the piles of worn out tires ruining the landscape
and the entrance to many towns and villages. Give them
a useful purpose other than artificial reefs off the coasts.

Spandex can cover or reveal a multitude of sins.
