(morning writing, garden)

Yesterday i managed to hit all the self care commitments. I asked Christine to put up the groceries so i could go out in the dusk and finish shoveling clay into the new hugelkulture bed: the "top soil" i'd scraped off before digging in. I might actually have enough soil, i'll see today in day light. Proof will be after Sunday's rain.

Trees from Ty Ty arrived, a vendor i've always worried about. When the shipments were delayed all January my distrust increased. But the plants looked fine, or as fine as bare root young trees can look.

I'm feeling pretty good, and loving the pale apricot sky of dawn.
