This thing I do. This job.
It's old.
I don't mean gardening is old, I'm not even speaking about the age of agriculture.
This, this kneeling and pulling back soil with my hands, this coupled with watching/remembering/learning. This is old. This is pre-sapien.

I don't get a chance to connect this way too often. Today I've been removing Ground Elder, and before anyone offers sympathy - as all who've walked past have - I enjoy this.
