When a friend calls to me from the road and slows his horse to a meaning walk, i don't stand still and look around on all the hills i haven't hoed, and shout from where i am, what is it? no, not as there is a time to talk. i thrust my hoe in the mellow ground, blade-end up and five feet tall, and plod: i go up to the stone wall for a friendly visit.

Toward seven o'clock every morning, i leave my study and step out on the bright terrace; the sun already burns resplendent between the shadows of the fig tree, makes the low wall of coarse granite warm to the touch. here my tools lie ready and waiting, each one an intimate, an ally: the round basket for weeds: the zappetta, the small hoe with a short haft . . . there's a rake here as well, at at times a mattock and spade, or two watering cans filled with water warmed by the sun. with my basket and small hoe in hand, facing the sun, i go out for my morning walk.
