Spring chores

A strange noise and a strong smell of grass reached me this morning all the way up to the 12th floor! A quick look from my balcony and I realized that city workers were manicuring the slope grounds bordering the Lana Canal.

Again, the week started with 2 full days of heavy rains, and the canal was dicharging dirty water at a fast pace until last night. This morning beautiful sunshine added a extra layer of green to the blooming trees, and the grass needs attending to.

Some of the men were manning the machines, while some took a break on the sidewalk benches......


while the all women crew followed them to collect the cut grass by rake or hand.
