AMERICANS ARE EXPERIENCING chaos and our leaders are acting like idiots, and perhaps Rome is definitely getting scorched.  :\   I looked back at my first musings here, and in spite of myself, I'm making the experience I wanted here, growing plants and helping pollinators, and just loving the beauty I see here. But I am facing some pretty hard work this year, as I will now finally be able to take my yield to farmers market, etc.  In the face of all that is happening this year, I am thrilled to be heading in this direction, as it is the right one.   :B

TO POST ON your blog! I apologize to anyone who was wondering. ;B.
Since April, I've grown heirloom vegetables, planted perennials, (many donated by friends!), created a pathway to the bird garden designed for me by roost landscapes in west seattle,
improved the potager and raised beds, and painted almost everything, either 'dried tomato' red, or my favorite green-gray, 'dragon's breath.' And off the Farmlet, I'm gearing up to farm flowers for local market with a co-op garden.  I'm beat!  :D   more to come...
