Will you bloom bright and fierce?

Rabbit, rabbit! Happy May Day! I had cherished seasonal hopes of writing about a socialist film, but since I am instead doing my best not to come down with pneumonia, I did the convalescent thing and gardened for my mother.



Planting pansies.



The weeping cherry on the boundary of my parents' neighbors' yard.



I guess if you ever wanted to know what it would look like if that statue of Lilith that clings to the walls of modern art museums had to weed out a raised bed.



The garden bed, now occupied by chives at one end and onions at the other. Theoretically the brick of stiff twigs at the chive end will revive in the next few weeks as oregano. The plan is to plant some things that aren't allium in between.



The beginning of the lilacs.



The ornamental cherry getting into the swing.



Pansies, planted!



Much later in the evening, we went out for milkshakes from the local ice cream shop; were unable to purchase milkshakes from the local ice cream shop; purchased malt powder from the local ice cream shop; came home and made milkshakes. I was probably complaining about the silliness of this situation, but I like the picture.

I expect to be immobile for some time.

I hope the satellite dish is receiving good vibes for anything that gets planted in the box. Your lilacs and ornamental cherry are so close to fully open! Very pretty. And I like that you have your toes in the earth; that's good.

That statue of Lilith that you link to is very cool. Is there some story for that pose? Did she do some creeping like that in some text?
