youtu.bereskeet with your sunday mood
Sooo relieved you’re ok! Sorry you had to go through that (especially alone,) but hopefully it was just a one-off. Sometimes spring allergies cause me to have headaches, but nowhere near as bad as what you were describing.
Some good news for your Sunday!

You can tell a lot about a person by these categories:
Eggs: over medium or poached
Steak: Porterhouse, grilled or broiled, medium rare
Milk: 1/2% white
Alcohol: Seldom: fave beer is Killian’s Irish Red, & I enjoy my port
Warm drink: usually tea, occasionally coffee, rarely a Vernor’s ginger ale.

youtu.beAnything is debatable. If the other one gets elected, that’s the end of democracy as we know it. I don’t like Joe’s support for this fascist either, but what do you think will happen to the Palestinians if the alternative is another fascist who hates Muslims?
This is what people need to understand before anybody will do anything about global warming. You have to show them how it hits them in the pocketbook. It’s the only thing a capitalist dominated world responds to, unfortunately. Thanks for this much-needed research.
Wowza.
"The economic damage wrought by climate change is six times worse than previously thought, with global heating set to shrink wealth at a rate consistent with the level of financial losses of a continuing permanent war."

A 1C increase in global temperature leads to a 12% decline in world gross domestic product, researchers have found

I missed last night, but I gotta skeet this one because it’s one of my favorite ‘60’s songs. Later, it was a great indie film.

youtu.be😱 Even the threat of violence is traumatizing. I’m so sorry you both have to go through this; her as target and you as powerless mom (just as bad!)
That’s the plan! I do think I want to put some yarrow in right away.
We had to take out a huge old maple tree last year. I suddenly find myself with a lot more sun in my yard than ever before. So I can finally plant things that require full sun! It’s digging out the new bed that has me dragging my heels. 😬
Your vibe in one image
Gorgeous, Kate! The push I needed to go out & plant some new stuff.
It’s a stupid idea but I’m going to do it, too.
