Spring Is Early

The week took a lot out of me, so I'm going to spend a lot of time relaxing this weekend, though I might attend a work-related event on Monday.

My dog Gideon didn't make it. So I'm feeling a bit off. I didn't know him long enough, but it was hard fighting for his life and losing. Poor Hayley, Gideon's mother, is aware and was very whiny last nighht.

Spent some time working off some of the negative energy in the garden. Spring seems to have arrived much earlier than scheduled, so I'm using the time to make things grow, enjoy some time outdoors.

The time for bartering from one's garden has also started early. Got a basketful of carrots, avodacos and lemons from a couple of friends, in exchange for harvests of parsley and basil. I think I got the better end of the deal:-) Now I have to peel a lot of carrots, cook and freeze them.
Not fun!
