Just do it.

I know. I should have posted a Friday Book Blog. I didn't. I haven't been reading very much so I had nothing to share.
I did cut a deal with my LSH whose turn it was to do our taxes this year. I traded mucking out the pond for taxes. Funny enough: we BOTH think we got the better end of the deal.
So, our taxes are filed, and the amazingly resilient Demeter and Persephone who somehow managed to survive the winter-of-never-ending-polar-vortices in that teeny pond choked with oak leaves are quite happy to be in clear, clean flowing water again! It does appear that spring is tenatively here.

I do wish it would hurry along though so we can assess what we have that was not as hardy as our two orange friends. Already, I know we lost the top half of an azalea and nearly all the buds on the pieris japonica.
