RANDOM THOUGHT: Why isn't 'black privilege' a thing?

Answer: It is, if it comes with a stuffed animal.

SPRINGTIME 2021, Week 13, and it's done. This is the last post until I start the Fall 2021 falling leaves series. Here's the usual pond view:

The hardwoods have finally filled in -- not completely, but almost so. Next the usual fire pit view:

The trees are almost completely filled in, although you can see they're still a bit thin at the top left. The fire pit is (almost) completely renovated, and all the plantings in the gardel to the right of the walkway are filling in nicely.

Here's the garden area at the edge of the walkway. The flowers seem to be thriving, and we plant a few more with each visit to the nursery. That's the pond in the background, but as with every spring it's now nearly invisible.

The Arapaho Walk road 'tunnel' is now nearly nearly complete, but again, not quite completely filled in at the very tops of the trees.

And finally, the best view of the pond we'll have until next year.

Until then....
