april rains

i spent the day today racing against a forecast of two days of soaking rains. i recently bought 2000 square feet of shady woodland wildflower seeds, and i was determined to get them planted before the rain came. it’s just so easy to click “buy now” in march, when the ground is still covered with snow. it’s an entirely different thing to clear and prepare 1000 square feet of woodland soil that hasn’t been cleared in 30 years. yowza. i’m a little tired now…
