The bee yard has bees coming and going, busy doing what bees need to do at this time of year. They flit in and around with purpose and energy.\u00a0 We were all working outside today.<\/p>\n
It felt good to have Mark here helping, a sort of family experience.\u00a0 A bit unusual in my life, but good.<\/p>\n
When I transplanted the leeks the other day, I was proud of them.\u00a0 A month ago they were just seeds in the packets from Seed Savers Exchange outside Decorah, Iowa and here they were, well underway in life, ready to go outside and grow in the wide world.\u00a0 There are tomato plants still growing inside along with some kale and chard.\u00a0 They won’t go until the last frost date is past, May 15 or May 20 depending on whose map you read.\u00a0 Other things will get planted then, too.\u00a0 Beans, in particular.\u00a0 Cucumbers.<\/p>\n
Today when I dug a trench to re-seat the irrigation head near our back deck, unearthed by Vega and Rigel two seasons ago, I got the trench finished and Gertie plopped herself right in it.\u00a0 It was cool, she said, thanks.\u00a0 I shooed her out of the trench and she got up willingly, only to lie down on the mound of earth removed.\u00a0 Which, of course, I wanted to put back in the trench.\u00a0 She looked up at me with a smile, sand bedecking the hair hanging below her mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
