My neighbour's cherry tree at sunset yesterday.

Today I actually did chop wood, carry water.
This morning David, Duncan and I did a long form together to start the day - wonderful.
I have been doing a lot in the garden, mainly lugging 1500kg of gravel, planting hundreds of seeds and protecting seedlings from squirrel mayhem. Despite the aches, I have rarely felt better. I am happy to be in  'the green gym', but to my mind it's often more like 'the compost counsellor'.
