We got more rain. The river is up, but staying nicely within its banks where it belongs. The garden is wet.This afternoon when the sun came out, Ed headed back to his wall . The stone down by the cherry tree is particularly gnarly. No matter how many times I have seen a wall appear using these misshapen and round stones, I still don't know how he does it. I need flat stones to build a wall and even then...
Working a wall like this is a combination of weight lifting and jigsaw puzzles. Ed finds it wonderful fun. It was a delightful afternoon to be outside. The geese are making plenty of noise. I'm sure I heard a bluebird. I saw one this morning sitting on top of the nest box in the rain. I mostly walked around checking to see how well the bulbs are coming up. There will be much to do when things dry off a bit. These early March days spent outside are really a bonus . My snow drops , glory of the snow, and Dutch iris are beginning to grow. Most years they come up through the snow. There's still time for that.
