Inclusion

I had the tedious and necessary job of painting the inside of the wooden raised beds to help preserve the wood.  The boxes are substantial so it took a little time.  My mind started to drift to those Maths 'word' problems we were given in school.  This sort of one - 'if it took two men (it was always men) three days to dig a trench, how long would it take five men to dig the same size trench?'  Of course then answer is to hire a digger and an operator and the job is done in no time.  I was formulating a similiar problem involving painting wood when the temperature was so low it affected the viscocity of the paint and the enthusiam of the painter, what would happen if it weren't painted at all? 
I took a shot of the snowdrops which are bunching well around the pond.  Then I went inside to thaw out.
