Winter, Sony A7 III, Voigtlander 10mm f\\5.6 lens, 22APR2021 \u2013 Photo of the Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today was a day of toil.\u00a0 About a week ago Camera Girl was\u00a0 in her garden, supposedly turning the soil with a pitchfork.\u00a0 I say supposedly because after ten or fifteen minutes of effort the pitchfork was still stuck in the ground and the ground was having the best of the argument.<\/p>\n

Finally she gave up and complained bitterly of her fate.\u00a0 Being the gentlemanly parfait knight that I am, I mocked her.\u00a0 I said, “Sure women are always saying how they can do anything a man can but apparently that doesn’t apply to pitchforks.”\u00a0 She sot me a look that seemed to imply something about the quality of that night’s dinner.\u00a0 So I displayed magnanimity.\u00a0 I said, “You poor weak creature, I will turn the soil for you, only not today.<\/p>\n

Well, apparently “not today” was today.\u00a0 So I went out to the west field and starting singing road gang spirituals.\u00a0 And to be honest, between the matted weed roots and the stupid liner that someone put in the soil was incredibly tough and heavy to turn.\u00a0 But three hours of working like a hired field hand got it done.\u00a0 About half way through it occurred to me that I could have rented a rototiller.\u00a0 But by the end I was so satisfied with myself that it was worth it.\u00a0 I showed up afterward in the kitchen drenched in sweat and covered with dirt but extremely pleased with myself.<\/p>\n

I preened in front of Camera Girl and lectured on the difference between man’s work and woman’s work.\u00a0 I mentioned that I left some clean up of weeds and liner next to the garden.\u00a0 And that she should get that squared away as soon as possible.\u00a0 She mumbled something under her breath but I pretended not to hear her.\u00a0 Then I headed up for a well deserved shower.<\/p>\n

Remarkably shortly after i finished working the skies opened up and it poured to beat the band.\u00a0 Probably some of the seedling I put in this week may be washed away.\u00a0 But some of them will make it and I ‘ve got more for next week too.\u00a0 As long as we don’t have a repeat of last spring when it rained for forty days and forty nights, things will be fine in the garden.<\/p>\n

This year we intend to grow a lot of butternut squash because Camera girl makes a great chicken soup with it.\u00a0 And we’ll grow lots of zucchini and eggplant.\u00a0 This year we’ll put in some thorn-less raspberries and I might move my blueberry bushes to make it easier to protect them from the birds.\u00a0 Most years they get more than I do.\u00a0 And I have to remember to put out the egg cases that the praying mantis laid over the winter.\u00a0 \u00a0I sure don’t want them hatching in the house.<\/p>\n

So it was a work day but I’ll be sure to find something to be outraged about in the news when I check it out.\u00a0 Enjoy your Thursday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
