Yet more work on Missing this morning.\u00a0 Still at play in the Winter Forest, up in the Dark Range, around the shores of Lake Arcas and on the waters of the Winter Sea.\u00a0 It is so difficult ![\"640cranes-photograph\"](\"http:\/\/www.ancientrails.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/640cranes-photograph.jpg\" "\\"640cranes-photograph\\"")
to know what the quality is of your own work.\u00a0 Very difficult.\u00a0 Some say impossible.\u00a0 May well be.\u00a0 This one feels, however, like the best work I’ve done to date.\u00a0 But, hey, that’s just the author speaking.\u00a0 What does he know anyhow?<\/p>\n

This afternoon Mark and I transplanted four gooseberry from their shade sheltered residence along the west facing side of our hour to an east and south facing slope in the third tier of our perennial beds.\u00a0 As we worked digging the holes to receive the shrubs, then digging the gooseberry plants prior to placing them in their new homes, bees buzzed around the deck, drawn, I imagine, by the residue of last year’s honey extraction.\u00a0 Now long over as far as we know, last August, fall rains have pounded the deck.\u00a0 Snow has piled up it over two feet high and that has washed away with spring rains, yet the delicate sensory apparatus of the honeybee knows that something was done here, something relating to honey.\u00a0 Perhaps bees have their own CSI crews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
