Thank you all for the responses to yesterday's post, both the helpful words, which I've spotlighted, and the kind restraint you showed if the subject isn't your life.
I'm encouraged to continue as before, feeling as if the people with the right to decide have authorized it. That feels better.
I got in a walk early this morning before the rain came on, and noticed this
There's a bee that punches holes in leaves and carries the disks back to line their nest. I wonder if this is the work of one of them. I also have perfectly punched out holes in my hibiscus, same question.
And finally the thistle is budding
Today's Handsome Partner's birthday, and he'd have been 94, if I'm counting right. I ate strawberries, his favorite, in his honor this week. It was easy to decide on his birthday cake each year -- strawberry shortcake never missed.
Today's activism was to write to my State reps, at the urging of NJACLU, to get their vote for the New Jersey John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, to safeguard our elections regardless of the shenanigans elsewhere.
In the US, States run their own elections at every level and counties administer them. Ignore the bloviating feller in the White House, he doesn't have the authority.
We're going to have a couple of feels-like-115°f days coming up, so I think I'll roast chicken thighs with Cajun seasoning, ready for sandwiches. Be prepared.
Sandra, that Cajun seasoning is definitely one of the best things that's come along lately, since I finished up my Old Bay.
This week's potatoes are as good as I've ever had, meltingly soft inside, crisp outside, to go with plant based very hot burger type pat
ties. Bit of malt vinegar, salt, perfect.
After several years and donations to the food pantry, I'm finally seeing the end of millions of little packets of malt vinegar. I hit the wrong button when I ordered.
I still have a more than lifetime supply of vital wheat gluten, same fat finger issue.
I treated myself to a solar lantern like the one AC received for Father's Day, because I've been wanting a solar light for the patio ever since my last one gave up. I really liked the one AC showed us, great idea
It arrived today in pouring rain, so the unboxing is deferred for a day or two. I hope it will cheer me up when I'm looking out on the upcoming hot evenings.
Ed note: I set it among the plants near the window to remind me to take it outside when the rain stops and to my surprise, when I closed the curtains tonight there it was, shining away and casting lovely bird shadows on the dresser. They don't show on a picture, I tried.
Happy day everyone, the Boleyn Traitor continues to do bad things, now directed by Cromwell. Everything new happened before.
Every day please
