What a lovely day! We spent most of the day outside. So did the keeper. She was determined to work in the yard all day. She did. She really did. She filled dumpsters and bags full of weeds and leaves and pine needles which she had used as mulch all winter. We watched in horror as she emptied the compost maker she had been filling since last summer. It was full of rich dirt and tons of worms! She spread the new compost all over the side beds. We suggested she shoot a photo but she didn't think that people would appreciate the beauty of worm filled soil. she found that plants which she had declared DEAD last fall had sprung back to life, with tender shoots. She planted new things, and chased us. She came inside covered in dirt and mud, and was very happy. We came in exhausted from watching her work so hard. It was a great day! We hear she has to go back to her work tomorrow. Too bad. We could use more days like this one. We hope we are still alive when she retires.
