Hey, it's better than summer and having to dig when it's sweltering out here! And this season has been ratcheting up the death anniversaries for me this last decade, so it is what it is.
Moo was never that into very much playing and I was her favorite toy, followed by Tuxie, so we won't include those with her. (-; Being carried really was her favorite thing, followed by petting, brushing, and soaking in sunshine.
Thank you. I'm just missing New Jersey soil big time and how easy it was to put in a garden when I was a tween. There's a reason NJ is called The Garden State. It's pure red clay here in Maryland a foot down, with some very intrepid roots and a few rocks. Wretched stuff. But I am even more grateful to all the evergreen trees and bushes that have already been planted around my house cheering my winter view, before I put in all my additions. But if the apricot tree makes it, it will have benefitted form a much larger hole I will fill with good soil than I otherwise would have due to Moo, even if it makes no other use of her as nutrients. That's a nice ritual. No blooming flowers here, but I will sit down and recite some stories about Moo to the earth when I've finished planting the tree and building up the mound around it. *hugs*
