Our town is experiencing severe drought and has issued water restrictions. The soil in this little median strip is hydrophobic and does not absorb water from sky or watering can. While I cannot change forecast, I can change the soil conditions. Today I amended the soil by stirring in some fresh garden compost and topping it with straw and watering with a bucket of gray water... Despite the drought and the traffic, nature sent messengers of health with the sound of a cricket from the Rosa rugosa and bumblebee ascending from the calendula, and a couple of yellow jackets reminded me to observe and move slowly. That’s it for now.❤️
