A Smoky May Day



Today we got back in the lower field and planted 15 buckets of Dahlias and a bucket of Lilies. The Dahlias are dug up each year so they don't freeze, they are huge corms the size of soccar balls almost. Meghan and Martha and I double dug the rows and pulled out what was left of the grass weed, but there always seems to be more. The forest next door has been plowed for building houses, a new development is in the air. They are burning the piles of brush and stumps where a few months ago trees stood. The smoke blew through on the wind. Martha and I starting talking about politics and what wins out the mind or emotions. Her blood temperature rose and she was on tip toe while I stood my ground that emotion wins out. "Get your facts, there are facts, get the facts!" she screamed. It was a good healthy day on the farm.
