More signs of spring:
After using the hose yesterday, I left it attached to our frost-proof
faucet, reasoning that if a hard freeze were predicted, it would be
unusual enough to remind me to run out and unscrew it.
Today I unearthed the spading fork and went to the garden to harvest a
few winter onions to put into the meatloaf. Halfway there, I realized
that I had nothing to cut the roots with. It's time to resume pinning
a knife into the pocket of my slopping-around pants.
