We've got these little landscaping blocks that are set in the ground beside the garage. You are supposed to grow grass in the little holes in the middle, so from a distance it looks like lawn, but you can drive on it. Last summer when we put in the pool, this driveway was totally trashed--gravel, concrete trucks, dirt--all over it. We decided to let it go until next spring. Today, my husband noticed that the area is starting to green up again, even though it is only January. Some of it is weeds, but there is a little grass in the middle. To me, that's perseverance.
