EIGHT O'CLOCK AND ALL'S WELL

Thursday was gorgeous. Friday was more gorgeous. Today, Saturday, began with a splendid dawn whence, among other tasks I planned to drill and inoculate the previously mentioned shiitake logs (it's better to do it as soon as you can after harvesting the logs, to preclude their natural inoculation by undesired fungi) and get some more bulbs and seeds in the ground, prepare the ginger bed too, but no sooner had I laid a hand on those logs than it began to rain, and it has rained all day since, the logs this evening just sitting out there dripping happily in the rain while the frogs begin their chorus, happy as can be with water above, water below. There is vast contentment in that sound, of rain falling and frogs calling, over and over, that all is well.
