Normally, I would have the thing at least 80% up and running. But this year it's been such a damp and cool spring, I'm just finding I have less time suitable to the task to spend outside. The good news remains that I am enjoying the process just as much as I always do. To collect and then select a few to arrange in little worlds across the planters on my back deck, and then to tend them over the course of the summer, has proven a lovely distraction that always yields satisfying results.
