I love my daughter's Etsy shop so much. Her business of curating, cleaning, reviewing and repackaging good children's books emphasizes diversity, kindness & sustainability. Such a beautiful thing she's doing for the world! She has all her reviews on Goodreads now. đ§Ą

Also for Bowen/Nex̱wlĂ©lex̱wem gardeners: Join our Signal food farmers group! The plan is to have a way of reaching other local food farmers to share supplies, info, and seeds (note my previous post giving away my leftover seeds!) (Egg photo for eye candy.)

Bowen/Nex̱wlĂ©lex̱wem gardeners: Please take my free seeds! I've grown & loved almost all of these (never tried African foxglove - was a free gift). But am concentrating on other varieties now, or they're just leftovers from varieties I still grow. Call 9563 or drop by!

One of the best articles I've read in ages. Don't write it off as more political pondering you don't have time for. This is more about who we are as a society than anything else. And who we want to be. Apparently I'm a Cassandra. You might be too.
