Sep 4

and like, say, 3 weeks later new green shoots begin peeking out! 😄🩷

Oh, well. I had a freak accident on ice that left me w left arm/shoulder ripped rotator cuff muscles over 30 yrs ago. Nasty stuff, recovered. But as a dominant lefty I couldn't work for several months.
So winter became a more fraught experience! No snow, especially No ice!

I do like a clear batch of fresh clean snow, even still. It looks pretty sparkling in the sun.
