Freddy!! What a glorious portrait of him in the sun!
Hazel is adorable.
Your garden is fabulous. Inspiring. **I should try again with the veggie gardening.
The hoops - that, I never tried.
The raised beds? Somehow, wild raspberries took them over. And grass, always, the pasture grass, seeds lying dormant for decades, yet a packet of seeds from the store will expire in a few years? Why, why, why. How.
Getting out again, hearing your own voice again - yes, you will do this! I often sing while I walk the dogs. They seem to find it easy to tune me out.
We're supposed to put in 10,000 steps a day, and I'm barely reaching 4,000. Just might have to head out again now. Today's walk, I noticed anew how busted and broken the landscape looks, and how many places I had to trim back, schlepping a lopper through the meadow and woods to tackle those raspberry bushes. The tall grass is easier to stomp down. The greenbriar... nightmarish stuff. But it's native. Which reminds me. I wanted to take up forest gardening...
