Kiss the Earth

And how sweet it is, this spring-like interlude. It'll no doubt vanish shortly and morph into cold and rain, maybe worse, but yesterday and today? the best. After work last night, in honor of the remaining daylight, I headed out to the garden (color: brown) to get a start on all the cleanup I should've done last spring. This produced the first blister of the 2007 gardening season, but the restorative benefits of that one hour of raking, pruning and digging have carried over to today. Hoping to do more tonight if the rain holds off.

I'm also busy cleaning out the birdhouses - birds are house-hunting right now - and marveling at how packed with tiny, insulating sticks they are. Birds are so ingenious. It'll be fun when the wren families move in.

Enjoy this day!
