where has he been?

What has he been doing? where has he been?

he give up on art man? no, he's just been kinda busy.

Going to see his son play...

and working in the garden cleaning up the plants he put in several years ago

and weeding, trimming small trees...

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.  If it comes out of the ground easily it is a valuable plant.  -Karel Capek

Let no one think gardening is a bucolic and meditative occupation.  It is an

insatiable occupation like anything else to which a man gives his heart. -Karel Capek

planting clematis, flowers, transplanting viburnums and hydrangeas ...

and digging digging digging...

making a path.

moving dozens of plants

It is utterly forbidden to be half hearted about gardening.  You have to love it whether 

you like it or not. -Karel Capek
