They grow so fast…

Yesterday’s Tropic Snow peach is noticeably bigger than yesterday and the last of the flower that was attached to it is gone. It’s almost April and it’s supposed to be ripe in June, so I guess it’s not wasting a moment. I stuck a finger down into the dirt, which could use some mulch: good. Still moist enough, don’t have to water yet.

I saw the beginning of two on the August Pride, too; they weren’t discernibly certain yesterday. Now they’re well past the just-a-guess, along with the new green plum needlepoints on the tree facing them. That little bit of rain last week didn’t hamper those blossoms after all.

I really like that planting those peaches has gotten me in the habit of walking around the backyard in the evenings and taking in the green and the growing and claiming it for my soul. Watching a bit of God’s knitting coming to be as the daylight stretches slowly longer.

Meantime, it looks like I’ll be able to make the baby afghan go further down towards my feet than I had thought the yarn would be able to reach to, good, and…after a week of dodging it, I’m finally catching Richard’s bug. Hoping that a cold will just be a cold.

(There was a get-together tonight that I was really looking forward to. My chocolate torte got delivered but my conscience needed me not to share the germs and I walked the garden here instead. To the vector, go the soils.)

Which is faster, heat or cold? Must be heat because you can catch cold.

Uh oh! So sorry that cold caught you. I’m pretty sure you were doing all you could not to catch IT. I sympathize. I’ve been home from work since Friday with this crud. Doctor today agreed, “You’ve got a super bug.” But finally feeling better. He said I’m no longer contagious, so with a Rx cough suppressant, I’ll see how tomorrow goes.

Oh, Sweetie — hope you’re feeling better soon! Take it easy and let your body fight the good fight against those ugly germs.
