It was a lovely weekend in every way. The tour on Saturday was great and I was not expecting such good weather yesterday. I did not do any "work," just a little yard work (which to me isn't work) in Samsonville; planted a lily that the church gave away (from Easter). The one from last year is up and looking good.

I can hardly wait until I can really get into it in Castleton, but sadly no time until after May 21, when grades are due. If I could finish sooner then I will be out there digging, but with a week before the deadline, it doesn't seem likely.

Grading is going about as well as can be expected. What an enormous task it is, even with a lot of streamlining over the years.

 Wonderful cat. Also very handsome.
