a lovely lovely day

hard to believe that this time last March we couldn't see our fences for snow drifts - today we were out ALL DAY.

• pulling thatched grass
• poking garlic cloves back under the soil
• raking up old apples and tossing them into compost
• clearing the pond path some more
  
  
• sitting by the pond
• finding old bird nests
  
  
• throwing sticks for Sally and Hank
• cutting the last of the long logs from firewooding expeditions in the fall
• filling the indoor wood pile
• clipping Brody (very badly)
  

what a lovely way to spend the first day of a week of holidays...
