The project of converting my front yard from turf grass with Asian shrubs to all native plants.

bereavement

There is not much progress on the project this weekend, due to bereavement. My dog Sophie died suddenly, and I'm coping with that right now. She created a disproportionate amount of the joy in my life, and this is a severe loss.

Close to sunset today I do plan to plant the squash and beans in the Three Sisters Garden, as the corn is ready for them.

I also plan to resume construction on the planter boxes and mulch up the cut tree branches that are loose in the yard, as soon as I can function properly again. And then continue to install the gravel from the pile.

Neighbors and the City are asked to please have a little patience at this difficult time.
