It’s Day Infinity of Zen Week. Not unexpectedly, this week’s series has resulted in many more visitors from Japan than usual. I am hopeful you are all safe and have the support and strength to rebuild your homeland.
INFINITY
Normal cat is insistently meowing to get in the house. I hear her through the open window. Light, fresh air is blowing through it as well.

She was insistent about wanting to go out earlier. She went out when I went to check on the neighbors yard. I heard something I wouldn’t usually hear and Wiggle dog was barking at the fence in that direction. All was ok. It was my neighbor, who is usually not home this time of day.
While I was out front I took the opportunity to pull up some long dead plants. I hit the roots against the warm brick wall so the rich soil would fall back in the garden. Then I threw them over the rusty barbed wire fence into the open field. I notice how well the chives came up again. I pulled one plant that had new growth I hadn’t seen and replanted it.
I didn’t bother to check the mail, the mailwoman doesn’t usually come this early.
When I came back inside I started water to boil some beans. They need to stand for an hour now.
