Hmm? Oh, a bit of this and that.

A neighbor has raspberries, I think.  Well, it's one sort of berry bush.  I decided to ask, as spring is nearing, if he had suckers he might want to be rid of, that I might have.  I received a positive on that.  I am hoping to hold off planting them until the middle to end of next month.  Though if they want them out sooner, there might be a way to work around that too.  Oh, I should have let him know I would gladly do the mechanical removal.  I am hoping to create a raised bed for that, along my closest fence line.  Perhaps 10~12 inches high, 2 feet wide, and perhaps fifteen to twenty feet long.  We'll see, but... it's an idea... plan.

As well?  Rhubarb, finally, and asparagus.  I will check locally and online, in the shorter term.  I don't think I'll do raised beds for either of these.  Though I might consider raised beds, and perennials, out front.  Or that's a theory.  That wouldn't be a prime notion, just... if as I build the other raised bed, if the price and fuss seems reasonable, I might just do a bit more.  Lily of the valley, on one side, perhaps something attractively edible on the other.



Why all this?  Why not.  I simply... think it's about time.  I have been down for a while, I'd like to get back up.  Work helps with that.  And, if I can get out, and have reason to be out, perhaps I can begin keeping up on the exterior of my home a bit more.  Cleaning windows, perhaps cleaning the siding... you know.  I am doing better, and really well for my condition.  I have a long time to go.  It will be hot, tight, hard, painful, and miserable.  Though if I work, and keep up, perhaps the time will slip a little less darkly.

Hail Mary.

When it all comes down, I know I won't be sad.  Amen.
