Garden Journal: raised beds
Already I am so glad we raised the beds in the vegetable garden. It has been gently raining for about 36 hours straight now.

Garden Journal
Last Saturday was a busy garden day. It rained in the morning, so I worked on some prep stuff. I am still trying to find the best way to mark off the squares in the garden, and so far I’ve had the best luck with string.

I wonder sometimes if I have an unrealistic expectation of friendship. When I was in college I thought that I would stay in close touch with many of… Continue reading On friendship
