A Sunny Day at Last!

It has been a day for sweeping the pollen off the porch, pulling out the weeds between the stones on the patio and the garden walk, and noticing ALL the garden weeds that need to be thwarted because I never got around to mulching this spring.

As I weed, I think of the Japanese and their gardens which we saw last fall, and how they keep up with their gardens constantly, every little weed, every little leaf, every Japanese garden that we saw as we hiked through village after village. Of course they wisely keep SMALL gardens.
