An example of Nathan’s work. 10×12 mine will be 8×8 with raised beds outside, a raised bed inside, and benches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beltane and the Greenhouse Moon<\/p>\n

Tuesday gratefuls: My very sweet girl, Shadow. Natalie. Alan, on his way to Las Vegas. Back pain less. Why? No idea. Hip and leg pain. Reading. Listening to Hard Fork. Money from the Jangs. My son, now commander. Cool night. Mary and Guru. Ruth. Seoah and her sister, her husband and their two kids. Raeone. Alan’s gift. Hate never made anything great on a hat.<\/p>\n

Sparks of Joy and Awe: Hugs and kisses from Shadow<\/p>\n

Week Kavannah: Zerizut for p.t. and resistance work<\/p>\n

One brief shining: As if making up for lost time, Shadow leaped onto my legs, put her head under my chin, snuggled in close, then gave me kisses, kisses, kisses our relationship transforming in days from skittish indifference to loving companionship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dog journal: No, all is not fixed. But the most important part is. We’re buddies. Companions. No longer caretaker and uncertain animal.<\/p>\n

She still wants me to leave the backdoor open and when it’s 40 degrees outside, I want it closed. She still may run when I get up. But we both know that will fade.<\/p>\n

Natalie got a harness on her yesterday. Perhaps today a link with a section of rope to simulate a leash.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Greenhouse diary: Nathan finished the greenhouse above last Friday. About a half a mile from me. He came by yesterday to level out the foundation area for the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

I plan to order seeds and transplants today. Some Marigolds. And some other flowers. Lettuce. Chard. Kale. Tomato plants. Beets. Carrots. Onion sets. Maybe Sugar Snap Peas. Peppers?<\/p>\n

An electrician will come when Nathan’s finished to run electricity to it. Still have to find a sign maker. I haven’t been this excited about something in a while. Miss gardening.<\/p>\n

A lot of zerizut for Shadow and the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jang travelogue: Received a wire transfer from Korea so I can start paying bills for the upcoming Korean invasion of the Rocky Mountains. August 1-7. The trip of a lifetime for Seoah’s brother, sister, her husband and kids, her parents.<\/p>\n

In other Korea news. My son now commands a squadron. The ceremony has been completed with many family in attendance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ruth in Korea:<\/p>\n

I don’t yet know where they got the outfits, but Seoah and Ruth are in hanbok, traditional Korean formal attire. I imagine my son is in a guard costume from the days of the Joseon dynasty.<\/p>\n
