Typical Ozarks forecast - might get 1 to 8 inches of snow and some ice. Or we won’t. Say less.

Making soup is a gift. The time to make it slowly and bake bread is a gift. The thyme from the garden still grows.

The Overstory
As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.

Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

Happiness is seeing your teen in complete joy mode. Blame it on a k-pop concert. But yeah, the crowd was joyful. No worries Gen X, the kids are alright. Music is the anchor and the sail.

Today’s walk was marveling at leaf pigments. Carotenoid and Anthocyanin do not disappoint. Bonus, I get to share a copy of Powers’ The Overstory with a neighbor this week.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” Harry Truman
