§ Almost exactly 14 days after sowing and at the first sign of warm sunny weather, the beans I planted all suddenly started sprouting.
Also, I found a lone breba crop fig on our tree. It’s obviously not much but maybe a sign of more to come in future years?
§ I went to another native plant sale yesterday and picked up a new black tupelo tree to replace one that I lost as an innocent casualty during last year’s oak tree saga.
§ I’m now over halfway through the first two-book installment of Jon Fosse’s Septology series. I was on the fence when I first started the book but now I can wholeheartedly recommend it. I still find the prose fascinating and weird but most importantly, unlike many “stream of consciousness” novels, Septology actually has a coherent and compelling plot line that continues though the book—at least so far.
§ This was my first week back at work since the baby was born. Getting back into the swing of things was a bit of an adjustment but far less than I feared. I started experimenting with different forms of anamorphic art for a possible future project.
