One of the great things about taking so long to get the pruning done is that eventually I find myself genuinely excited and thinking, “Now I get to do the weeding!” I’m totally sincere here. Weeding is so much easier and faster than pruning.

Okay, I walked around and captured some backyard scenes… it *does* feel good to take a moment to admire the fruits of your labor 🌱

The snag today is that my seat in the shade is across the yard and out of sight of the patch I’m working.

Sometimes I nag myself about spending too much time in the shade drinking water on a hot day of yardwork. But just now I sat here long enough that a bunny hopped right over next to me, and that’s a wonderful thing 🌱

“Room to grow!” I said. I used a yardstick and measured the expected span, and then added a foot. Two years later, it’s becoming ungovernable. It’s fabulous.

This is a sort of joke, a joking reference. The old dogwood in the middle of the back yard that’s dying a slow death faces, from this angle, the new dogwood that showed up in the yard one day. And it made me get those Joni Mitchell lyrics in my head.
