It was a week of getting over being sick, of catching water for the cistern, and building a blueberry sprig fence for me. It was a week of planting asparagus, milkweed, hollyhocks, gladiolas, four-o’clocks, and one dandelion in the old garden for Tina. That dandelion we found blooming in a ditch. Tina has tadpoles now to feed cucumber slices. The bluebirds have come back to the cedar house our neighbor Nick gave us. The hawks have been all around, looking for a place to build a nest. Sunday is the day we listen to WWOZ out of New Orleans and make mimosas and waffles and dance to celebrate the week’s work. This Sunday, you can feel the world here coming alive.
