Spring

I went to the farmers market this morning.

It's been hard to get myself there recently. Nothing really, just the desire to do absolutely nothing, and talk to no one once Saturday morning comes. Maybe when it moves to Thursday evenings again...

Today I am watering my very large yard. By hand. My timer goes off every 20 min and I move my four hoses. We need to get the sprinkler system fixed. Or do a rain dance. But spring has sprung. The fruit trees are blooming, the dandelions are up, and my garden is covered in weeds.

I've been listening to THIS and THIS. I'm not a person who listens to every episode of a podcast but I've actually listened to a fair amount of We Can Do Hard Things lately. Maybe because life is fine but feels hard right now.

I've been reading If Women Rose Rooted, also The Diary of a Provincial Lady, and I recently finished Summer Kitchens. 

I've been watching Call the Midwife from the beginning. Predictable, easy, and not as stressful as watching the news.

I am also avoiding most news but still trying to stay informed on Ukraine and its people. I enjoyed this interview on the author of Summer Kitchens, Olia Hercules on BBC The Food Chain. And also donated to her #cookforukraine and World Central Kitchen.
