Mission accomplished.
I went through all of the steps of re-seeding my back yard yesterday.
It does not look picture perfect. Seems that my compost failed to decompose completely. Rose buds, avocado pits, and eggshells are mixed into the rich soil spilled across the yard. They summon up memories for me. Squirrels licking every last bit of green gold off the patio after I’d cut the avocado into bitesize bits. The bracing taste of eggs over easy after a diet of Egg Beaters. The flowers that my honey still brings me — he’s a romantic.
