Sometimes contentment has to be found… wherever it can be found! I am on the run and don’t have much to show you. The grass will have to be mown soon, and maybe the asparagus will start sprouting when it gets a wee bit warmer. I put straw on the strawberries that grow on the periphery of my asparagus beds, and I put beautifully aged manure (seriously the nicest manure I’ve ever had the pleasure to dig out of a neighbor’s pile) on the asparagus, a chore that should have been done in the fall. So that’s what you are seeing there.

I tried my best at pruning the pear trees, and by that I mean I was grateful that my sons-in-law did it for me when they were here. These are some of the branches that I didn’t toss in the brush, thinking they might be good for something?

Is that just typical??

The bathrooms are still in process. I recommend moving or renovating bathrooms once every decade or two, whether you have somewhere to move or they need it or not, just so that you are forced to go through the accumulated piles of first-aid creams, gauze pads, tapes, and assorted remedies that have outlasted your crew’s need for them. And if a prescription was filled at a drugstore that no longer exists in a town you no longer live in, well, now’s the time to chuck it! Hashtag helpful advice.
