This sums up my approach to a lot of problems
Outdoors the go-to is pachysandra. Medically it's aspirin.
Yesterday Gary came over, determined to get stuff planted despite the pouring rain. So we turned the kitchen into a potting shed.
Note the squirrel deterring qtips. Both of us and the kitchen smelled powerfully of peppermint oil after this. So I probably won't get squirrels in the kitchen any time soon.
If it ever stops raining, we'll get the pots outside.
Happy day everyone, and here's an example of things I do daily, don't we all..
Rain rain go away, but it's not the disastrous flooding some people in nsw are struggling with, good thoughts to them.
Struggling at home continues with resistance. Today I'll leave Know Your Rights info at the library. And I've signed up for two tickets for T***ps birthday military parade. Yes, you know how that strategy works..sand in the gears. Anyone can sign up..Google on it, you'll get the sign up link.
Two places. Which will be two spaces..
I'm signed up for a protest that day. Hope we get a HUGE crowd!
ReplyDeleteI hope! Counterprogramming!
DeleteGood flow chart that's quite true. I must admit I puzzled about why you would sign up for the orange idiot's birthday debacle and then it hit me. Oh. Duh. Of course you know he will look at the numbers of sign ups and crow about how popular he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd wonder wha' happen, on the day!
DeleteClever to "reserve" your two tix! If only peppermint oil would work on Trump and MAGA too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sage, too.
DeleteWho does he think he is? I'm more and more convinced he wants to be King Donald I, or the Emperor of all the Americas.
ReplyDeleteThe World!
DeleteWe have the same fixes at our house!
ReplyDeleteIt's universal!
DeleteI'm going to be manning a booth at a Pride fest the day of that parade, so I'm afraid I'll have to miss it. Darn!
ReplyDeletePlease get tickets, though, to make two more no shows. In DC, not at Pride.
DeleteI can’t believe that frickin’ parade. I’ll sign up, too. Ah, Mutts! Jerry and I spent 10 minutes searching the entire apartment for his glasses this morning. Then I looked at him. He was wearing them.
ReplyDeleteBtdt.
DeleteSometimes when something doesn't work the best remedy is to just hit the thing. Am I right?
ReplyDeleteWell, that used to work on TV's, at least.
It works in a lot of contexts. Including certain people..
DeleteThere is that.
DeleteI LOVE the how to fix anything!!
ReplyDeleteCan almost smell the peppermint.
THREE HOURS of that parade!? AWK!
I wonder what color hair he will have for the event. Have you noticed it has gone from yellow to white?
Oh, and I had to google pachysandra--lol!
Wonder if the parade will happen. Last time it didn't.
DeleteCatching up on a few posts! The floods are terrible in NSW - I see also that France has had some flooding and I believe that the US has also had some pretty devastating storms. Every morning I call my 85 year old father and he scoffs at climate change (as he has been trained by Sky to do) but we still have to realise that whatever you lay it at the feet of, its terrible.
ReplyDeleteThere are major storms all over the place, yes, no matter what you believe caused it, it's serious trouble for the people caught in them.
DeleteThank goodness peppermint is a nice smell. I hope it’s not too overwhelming
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of empty spaces. More of that I say
The no show is a good resistance move. Also labor saving.
DeleteNot everyone would turn their kitchen into a potting shed for a neighbour on a rainy day or any other day. 👍
ReplyDeleteHe's not just any old neighbor!
DeleteI like your fix-it grid. Works for me. And well done on all the planting!
ReplyDeleteI think there ought to be a place in the grid for a big hammer.
DeleteHa! I love the fix-it flow chart. That's pretty much my approach too!
ReplyDeleteIt's tried and true!
DeleteI've had my head in the proverbial sand for a bit just trying to keep things going on the farm so forgive me for not reading and commenting here.
ReplyDeleteI take great joy in watching my seedlings come up this year. It feels like Christmas when I see the sprouts forming!
Most of my seeds planted are from seeds I collected over the past two years.
I'm thrilled when you do make it in here, and understand completely when you can't. Btdt.
DeleteThere's a special joy in planting your own saved seeds. This year again I've saved honesty seeds.
