So here I am five days out from the fall and still very much dealing with the injury. It is way better. The intense overwhelming pain is gone, at least mostly. I felt a touch of it this mornin...

The ground is getting saturated enough after months of less than normal rainfall to bring trees down with the big wind. I am always sad when a tree comes down and grateful when they don’t take...

New shoots! Crocus I think. Not that my day yesterday was stressful or anything, it was pouring most of the day so it was a domestic one until the evening when I went to teach. We are focusin...
