GARDENING

It's still not really spring yet here in Denmark (the average temperature in April seems set to be the lowest for 25 years), but I am busy gardening. On Saturday my wife and I planted carrots and lettuces; and yesterday my mother-in-law came and cut down my rose plants, so that they will bloom even better. I mowed half of the hacienda on each day, so it is all looking nice and green.

All that is needed now is some sun. But that is not in my gift.
