Y’s guys (SWIDT) managed to camp out on the trampoline all night!  I was impressed.

The next shift was K’s gang of gamers, who have been enthusiastically at board games for hours.  K made some exceptionally good cookies and coffee cake from scratch.  They all went outside on the trampoline for a while, and played frisbee with L.  I really enjoy listening to them interact and discuss.  As with Y’s friends, most of these kids are somewhere on the trans/nonbinary/gay spectrum, so they all feel at home together here.  I’m happy that K has such a good group of friends.

E is somewhere in Italy or Greece right now, and I’m sure he’s being amazed.

I got so much done in the garden today, in between frisbee throws–where to begin?!

I finished seeding the one side of the veg garden, with onions, leeks, beets, celery, and potatoes.  The other side will all be hot-weather crops.

I  trenched around the new raised bed, then laid down wood strips around it.  It looks much better.

I cleaned up the whole perennial veg/fruit area against the house–the future (April) strawberry patch, the weedy prickly pear bed, and the asparagus and horseradish section.  Guess what?  Asparagus spears are coming up for the first time!  So exciting.  I’d like to add globe artichokes to that area.

I strung up some fairy lights around the front entrance arch, so it looks really pretty and inviting at night.

Meteorologists are talking about the earlier onset of unseasonably warm weather this year due to climate change, and the issues that can cause for plants and beneficial critters and pollinators down the line.  It’s all interrelated and affected.  I’ve been surprised to see some things budding and blooming sooner and more profusely than usual.  Look at all these flowers in bloom!

Now I’m spending the night as usual, and typing this on A’s bed.
