So sore -- it seems unreasonable to be this sore from raking. I do blame that the pair of sneakers i wore on Saturday are worn out (so i tossed those) and that the very soft ground filled with mole tunnels i raked Sunday provided lots of ankle exercise. All the rakings go to good causes and i am sure it's good exercise. I have more ares i'd love to mulch: i eye the stands of autumn olive with expectation.
I found small snakes -- DeKay's brown snake and a worm snake (Carphophis amoenus) -- and a cricket frog.
The moss and native grass are green and happy to get sun. I love the native grass so much as it barely grows above a pleasant height except in may, when it goes to seed. And even then, it's not particularly tall. I can't wait until all the east yard is turfed with it, with the violets mixed in.
The mossy area is definitely getting thicker and stronger. It's a slow change, but going into this, our third winter, it's definitely a meaningful change.
I hope to find a way to be productive in the evenings. I spent a great deal of time skimming a TV show that is near soap opera-ish. I suppose it's no less productive than reading fluff, but i do want to pick up sewing and yarn habits again.

We have lots of shade so we get a fair amount of moss and I'm fond of it, especially around my long-planned but not yet executed fairy garden.
Being productive in the evenings--yes, that's a struggle. MAking the NaNoWriMo commitment to myself gets me a bit off the computer games. I find easy fibercrafts can be done while half-paying attention to TV and also conversation. Not always compatible with a cat in one's lap though!
