A few weekends ago, we took a trip to town to help my dad's cousin prepare her yard for spring/summer. Len is one of my favorite people and role models. She is an 83 year old yoga teacher who, despite arrhythmia, cultivates her 3/4 of an acre with roses, fruit trees, and a large vegetable garden. I am telling you, there is no one like Len. A full novel would not do this woman justice.
Suffice it to say, we went to her house to help clear debris that came down in various storms this winter. Toe and I picked up downed branches and sticks while J attacked blackberry bushes and clematis that had run amok. Len was out there with us the whole time...
We had a great afternoon and hope to spend more time with her as spring progresses, doing some of the heavier work.
Flowers have already started blooming in Len's yard. You can tell everything is hopeful for spring.
