Garden Work

Pruning, dead-heading, weeding.  Cleaning the detritus out of the garden, gathering new beans and tomatoes.  Changing flags.  Even though mid-August the sun beat down, fierce still.

As I moved along, the plants reminded me, planted by my hand or Kate’s, remembering those days banging the new young plants out of pots, trowel in the soil.  The soil itself amended many times, now loamy and sandy, a good  home for flowers, friable.

A little financial work.  A nap with Hilo. 

Kate’s come home.  Bye.
