The trouble with clay ...

Today, I spent much of the day digging, weeding, and transplanting. Let's not be mistaken -- the clay soil here rivals any of the hardpan I've worked with in Los Angeles. Once it's on your shoes, it's pretty well stuck -- so now I'm a few inches taller...









Meanwhile, we assessed the pruning situation, and got started on a few rose bushes. Mistress Margot pruned the huge bay laurel tree from which we made bundles. They are now drying and shall be made into bouquet garni or whatnot...







And then it was sunset time...
