the sun'll come out tomorrow...

bet your bottom dollar...come what may..."

and it did.

i woke up this morning to sunshine and birdsong, and a sense that Resolution is coming. things proceed apace with the sale of my grandmother's house, Beloved feels better about his mother. i even got some time today to attack the gardens.

now i have more jewelweed than i can think of things to do with and that was from just one garden. some of the stalks were thicker than young trees, but at least the fact they come up easily compensated a bit. i have one garden done, and a plan of attack for the others.

my writing room is coming together slowly, too. this is what it used to look like:

phase two - after we painted last year...


and what it looks like now:


i know it looks hopeless but i have high hopes.

and furthermore, the war will end. blessed be.
