I was 50, 5 years ago…. I’m usually the oldest at whatever I participate at/in…. I dance with people half my age. Hike with those who are at least a decade older. I feel oddly old and strangely young at the same time.
I turn 50 in December and have a 6 year old. I suppose the 6 year old makes me slightly less old philosophically and mentally but much older physically as I try to keep up with her. So I feel your excitement and melancholy. Happy birthday and I do enjoy your weekly updates. I'm glad it finally rained, Texas is still badly dry.
Suggestion for the current harvest: use a peeler to cut the carrots into “linguine”. Cook in a big pan with oil and garlic and salt. Dress with a pesto of spinach and tomatoes.

You’re not older than me ! Grannie Hoyle is 60 😊
Plastering, or rendering if you'd prefer. I hate it, especially when there are fiddly bits
