I’m needed in the garden to plant some more beans, hoe weeds and tidy up before the sun gets over the east ridge.
Later in the day, I’ll be considering joining Gandy in a Creek Flop.
Tis the season. Soldier on.

Planting beans and hoeing weeds beats shoveling snow any day, Fred. Enjoy your flop in the creek with Gandy. 🙂
