Though I have finally scrubbed the last dirt from under my nails, I spent quite a bit of time today with my hands in a variety of soils; and another hour wandering through the neighbourhood looking at the glorious dogwoods and azaleas and tulips. First garden day - and lovely. I'll write better about such things when I am not so tired and not so busy trying to cram more hours into great days like this one. I am now going to read American Born Chinese to console me for the closing of a beloved bookstore.
