compost

Sun May 27.
Great sunrise this morning. Walked out to robin and meadowlark serenades. Dug grass around 10 of my new spruce trees until my knee began to ache. Let the sheep out to pasture and went in to have a bath. Linda as usual left me bathwater to use and then pump out onto a tree (birch today.) Her tulips are looking ragged after the snow a few days ago, but they refuse to die in a sea of yellow and red. A few potatoes popping up from the cold cold ground Everything is 2 weeks late but determined to do its cycle. Toady's projects: cut up dead caragana wood and pile it (Linda does latter) and to clean out barn (why did I bathe?) I added 2 small truck loads onto pile by the garden house so water running off roof soaks into the pile. There will be compost next fall and eventually, I hope, my remains are added to it.
PS Talked to son in Darfur and had email from Toronto son saying he may be out this summer to see his sister when she is home from Pakistan before going to live in Uganda (her birth place)
