Two Junes
June was approaching and with it, my 70th birthday. They wanted to give me a party, the grown children. I was horrified. At 3 score and 10, who needs a big party full of one’s progressively enfeebled contemporaries raising their glasses to propose sloppy toasts? Well, what do you want, they said rather crossly. What I really wanted I had known this for several increasingly arthritic years was a new garden. That was two Junes ago. The garden they gave me is simply the old garden remade, a 32-foot-square plot below the pond on the only land we have on this hillside farm that is flat enough to cultivate. It has been heavily manured, composted and ardently tended for two decades. A talented young man who works in landscaping during the flowering season was readily for hire at the end of March. Traditionally, this is mud season in New Hampshire. The snow is still melting and refreezing. Many dirt roads are impassable. Ours was moderately difficult to navigate.
