Gorgeous weather and outside all day trying to make neglect look like benign neglect. A long way to go before that happens, as it takes me 90 minutes every day just to water and it's been so hot already this year I have to keep coming inside to cool off, but today was cool enough to keep going and I did, for about eight hours, with not an argument or disagreement in sight.
Still looks like neglect as I've attempted to *cultivate* more than I probably should have around the house, but the basics got done years ago when I could still cart around rocks and tree stumps to *landscape* and a week or so of eight-hour days now will get all the fallen leaves raked up and dumped and there's only a few flagstones to move from the back to the front and the bricks that G gave me to figure out what to do with and .....
Now I have to figure out how to get images on here without using the dreaded google photos. I'm old enough to remember when you could upload images directly from your computer, in those days of innocence before google ruled the earth, which reminds me that for someone who made such a fuss about finally gaining access to this blog after years of trying I haven't exactly lived up to its title.
But these are challenging times and we are in uncharted territory in these unprecedented circumstances for all of mankind, and if I had paid attention I'd have realized the sun was about to trine Jupiter in the early hours of Saturday and THAT had a lot more to do with my eight hours of labour than its squaring the moon.
