Let me tell you, if I could garden with one of those cave-explorer light-on-the-head type things without my neighbours - or hubby - thinking I am nuts, I would. Actually, that wouldn't stop me. It it my propensity for headaches that stops me. I gardened so much yesterday it my hips ache every time I stand up. Now that is a great sign... Spring is here! My arms are ripped apart as a result of pruning the roses and berry bushes, but in the best way possible...

Goals for today: 1. repair our compost bin - it is actually a repurposed futon frame we garbage picked. Horray for saving money! 2. finish leaf removal. 3. turn the soil in the vegetable garden. 4. move large bush to further up the stone wall - for privacy from my wife-beater neighbour.

Much to do, but I think I can get it done.

Then, nap with Millie, leave at 5.30 for dinner with friends - with a side trip to PV because this dipstick left all her respooled film at school!

A perfect night for walking in the city! Bringing the point-and-shoot...
