post sunny week

We spent an entire week digging a great big hole in the garden to make a pond.  After the subterranean power struggle that ensued, I find that I have much respect for roots and trees.

And the smell of earth..! Nostalgia is one word to describe it.  Another is a simple, dark kind of joy you can only get from sunlight, earthworms, soil, birds and trees all around you.

And slap me silly, but the tea at the end of it is something to look forward to.

Oh dear, am I assimilating..?

I have a few solid goals on this blog:

1. There will be no shitty smiley faces in my entries.
2. I will type the right way as much as possible.
3. there will be no swear words :)
4. The entries will have no amount of humoUr (I have been told that my humor is a tad too subtle sometimes).

Let's get started, then, Blogger. Take 2, coming up. April 2012.
