Let the garden season begin!

Yesterday the weather was quite lovely and I spent most of my afternoon in the garden. I sweeped up all the cypress junk that had fallen over the patch of strawberries (I'm happy to see they are struggling to come up regardless). It was a nice layer in the compost barrel and then I realised it probably takes ages to compost and it will do quite nicely as a mulch path. So I scooped it all out again. I can say with at least some certainty there are probably no coffee filters in the mulch path. I think. ( Continued with pictures )

Vandaag 1 jaar geleden...

One year ago today our friend Geert died. His band will play a tribute to him and his music tonight in Best. If you want to join us in remembering him, you can find more info here.

I want to share a video of them, with Geert playing bass and rocking out on stage on the right.
He's still around in our hearts, still watching out over us, and it's so strange to see him on YouTube and realise he's no longer alive.

To those who cannot join us in Best, pour yourself a glass of whisky tonight and remember him by enjoying life.
