Transplanted peonies in front of the studio, to make way for cannas I intend to plant there next spring. Preparing for spring planting in the fall is essentially an act of faith- it presupposes that spring will indeed come again, and when it does come, that it will be worthwhile to plant things.
A warm drowsy day, with mild clean skies- Finished up two pictures today.
