It felt good to put my hands in the dirt. I am going to try not to plant anything else until after Derby Day, the Kentucky Garden Gods don't like that (potential for monsoon, freeze, tomatoes savaged by the wind, blight on everything).

I lost my best friend in January, she was a Border Collie mix named Layla. It still hurts but we had 15 1/2 wonderful years together. I am sorry that you lost your kitty (I have a kitty too, Lily who is around 14, and a 4 year old Mini-Aussie named Retro who is HELL ON WHEELS, I love that silly boy).
