It's warm enough for gardening now. It's been a couple of years since we cut down the old cherry tree in our back yard, but two saplings grew from its roots in the garden, so the other day I transplanted them to the side yard. If they live on, that means the old tree lives on!
I've started spading the garden, which now has a bigger area than last year, and today I moved a continuous line along its edge. As well as potatoes, this year I plan to plant carrots and cabbage and such.
My nephew Alec came to Toronto for his SAT exam. I remember going to Montreal to do my SAT when I was seventeen! I took a train with my brother John and we stayed at a hostel. We met a porter who supported Canada's Communist Party (not the Marxist-Leninist sect). On the way there and back I think I was reading I, Claudius and Brave New World.
Now that my finances have been cleared up, I've submitted an online application for OSDP support over my Asperger's condition. Don't know how long before I'll get an interview.
The other day I joined a group I met through Meetup that's going to take a weekend tour of New York City at the end of July! The base cost (before extra stuff) is $600 and some, which isn't too heavy. I'll see if I can get a ticket to the Broadway production of An American in Paris.
Thursday night I dined at the Pickle Barrel with the Colouring Meetup, and did some colouring too. They were pretty impressed by my Doodleart fairy tale poster. (So far I've mostly been colouring in flesh, using red, yellow, pink and orange.)
