I spent an afternoon last week working on clearing out my raspberry patch (with some great helpers) and getting it ready for Spring. Last year
when I tackled my raspberry patch, I was surprised at what a mess it had become without me even realizing it, but also hopeful at its fresh start and a bit of a fresh start of my own too. I didn't realize then (gratefully) how many more stops/starts it would take for me to really get my feet under me again. But it feels like I'm finally getting there. Besides the beautiful Spring we've had (even if it is too early), I'm feeling so much better and brighter myself. And oh! I'm so grateful!
(Some evidence of this year's progress: Last year I spent an afternoon and cut back/pulled out all of the old branches and piled them on the lawn, where they sat for several days/weeks? until I went to Jordan for help and he finished the job for me :) This year I spent an afternoon and cut back/pulled out all the branches, then with some help from Landon, I
cleaned them all up too! )
