Flagged off my Latin tutor for this Friday. \u00a0Bees, garden, retreat, finishing Missing combined to soak up my good work time. \u00a0To do well at the Latin I have to have a full day; it takes me awhile to turn on the neural network that recognizes cases, remembers Ovid’s peculiarities and enjoys the play of connotation and denotation. \u00a0Once I get in that place, which may take as much as a morning, then I can translate faster, with more facility. \u00a0But. \u00a0I need that unbroken time. \u00a0Just the way I work.<\/p>\n
Rain kept me out of the garden last Thursday so I’ve got to out there right now and plant potatoes and chard. \u00a0The garden’s looking good, daffodils and tulips, bleeding heart and hosta, pachysandra and maiden-hair ferns greeting the strawberry blossoms, the asparagus spears, the green shafts of the allium family: \u00a0onion, shallot, garlic and the small leaves of the emerging beets.<\/p>\n
Today, too, is another round in the Can I keep Gertie in the yard game? \u00a0I added another wire and plan yet more moves. \u00a0I’m smarter; she’s more persistent. \u00a0An equal match so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
