I had lots to do outside on this perfect cool day, and plenty of raw materials.

I did my best to clean up the damaged side garden where the walnuts used to be.  I cut and processed all the cut tree branches into piles, and used some for hardscaping.  I wood-chipped Percy’s Memorial Path.  I raked out Y’s rock garden.  I planted some native flower seeds in various locations around the yard.  I cultivated the rows of new greens coming up.  I watered in what I had done.

Then I made dinner, a vegetarian Asian stir-fry with rice and Thai rice noodles.
