Modest, but Hot.
Be still my beating heart
Hosta, Hotsa, looking for a kiss.

It’s warm – get the snow off so they can fly (and poop!), put candy on for when they are ready!
Are they ok?
yes, they are buzzing!
Knocked the snow off.
Candy Board!

Fall is arriving, both astronomically and in terms of the weather here on Earth.
The Autumn garden cleanup is only 25% complete. Here’s the last big haul.
Harvest on the Equinox
There is plenty of work to do yet to prepare for winter.
Corn down. Sunflower down. Call 911.
Plenty of hot peppers to come.
The last remaining row of giant sunflowers.
Watermellon patch, scraggly last corn and browning tomatoes

After a very late frost/freeze last night on the 13th of May, the garden went in this morning. Here’s what it looks like with seeds, baby plants, and no weeds to speak of. That will change!
Hot pepper prison.
Tomato-land (with basil).
Mounds of zucchini, squash, watermellon, and canteloupe.
Strawberry boxes forever.
Corn and beans below the soil.
One of these things is not like the others…

Prepare for winter of course. No rest for the pattern bound on this planet.
Firewood in the red shed.
Remember that tree? Well it has been almost completely consolidated.
Spring light on the winter woodpile.
It’s not just winter we get ready for in Spring. We have to get ready for summer too.
Freshly weedeaten and tilled. Way too early to plant though.
Dirt.
And the summer solstice fire is growing. (Thanks to the tree.) Architecture by Allen.
Solstice fire at 2/3rds ready.
