It was a good day of gardening

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe: sunsets on fire in the fields of the Bakken. I watched KRF glitter in the dawn near the old farmer’s gate. All those relics will be lost in time, like dust in the screen. Time to dig.” #archaeology #crm 🏺

I just finished watching the finale of The Lowdown. Terrific show in a similar vein as Fargo, but better imo. Having just spent time in Tulsa, I was tickled to see so many familiar places. Great writing and acting. Plus Killer Mike and scenes at the Philbrook. Too many cool/funny things to list.

35F this morning, so I planted the hyacinths :)
