Day spent in working in the garden. A beautiful warm sunshiny day. I dug up, thinned and replanted the rhubarb. Also the bleeding heart which I discovered rotten and worm eaten. Put in the hepaticas, and did some redding up. I am completely devoid of any life or even thoughts about painting – this from my effort yesterday.
