Tax Time versus Spring Planting
Looking down from my office in the loft to the dining room. For two weeks every year, the table becomes the sorting place for all the paper we've accumulated to back up our tax claims.
I can't postpone any more. The dining room table was covered with stacks of paper getting ready to take it all to our tax preparer. But I also have to get bedding plants started.
Each pile gets a file, and clear decks for action.
Six flats of marigolds, 5 flats of dahlias. Lobelia, snapdragons, coleus. Carnations. More to come. I really have to make a greenhouse. Preferably one I can afford to heat.

Geese?
Maybe that should be goose. This morning when I went out to feed the dogs, I think I heard a lone pair of honks. Looking out from the porch, the sky was way too hazy to see much of anything. If that goose were a person, he'd be the first one in the neighborhood to buy an iPhone.
