Landscaped

Lovely is how pliable the earth is right now in my yard. The shovel slices through the dirt, like a fork through chocolate cake. It crumbles, it is rich in color a dense dark chocolate so moist and rich and so very malleable. I have cut swathes of steps, walls and terraces in my backyard.

Spring comes and goes, winter comes and goes... they are playing ping pong with each other. This week it is winter and it has snowed every day. I'm at that point in winter when the tease and taunt of the spring days we have had, make it painful to have snow and wind. Eager to get out there again.
