This morning I walked to the pond, no trouble other than wet feet, and the frogs were all leaping and shouting, two drakes hanging out, the females probably tending young somewhere.
It's wonderful to be walking again fine, clearly the setback was very brief.
You see one near the far bank, hurrying to take off, one minute later he was in the air, followed by the other.
All round the bank big frogs were honking and leaping, the rainy weather suits them. It was a great walk, so happy to be able to navigate mud and rabbit holes and downed branches again. They became significant obstacles there for a while.
And here's a favorite sight after rain
A spiderweb decorated with raindrops.
Meanwhile back in the kitchen, indoor gardening moves ahead.
Left the spearmint is already rooting, so I'll move it soon into a pot outdoors. In the back, the tiny succulent pot has an even tinier offspring developing. And the celery is just booming and taking up water rapidly. Soon I'll be able to cut it for salad greens.
I had a visit and a great chat with Mike the contractor, paid his very reasonable charge for the skilled work on the door, and we got all caught up on local gossip.
Happy day everyone, all's good here, nothing hurts, yay!
True in Ukraine where artists and artisans continue their work even under bombardment.
True for all of us. Every day is precious.
