Bark from mimosa - Albizia julibrisson, the happiness tree.
The little grove is filling in and needed some pruning. There will be lots of bark this year, and stripping it from the branches on a cool evening is one of my favorite ways to pass time. Good medicine.

This book was being printed when the country shut down for Covid, and I've heard from a lot of people who felt that it helped them.
It probably has something to offer in these times, too.

Overwhelm is part of the strategy of oppression. They want you to feel small. They want you to feel powerless. But you are not. You are a witch. Your very existence defies them. Every spell, every act of care, every refusal to submit is a victory.

We put together a list of things to consider stocking up on in November 2020. Seems it might be worth a thought now.
Pet food was one thing I struggled to get (because the cat is didn't know it wasn't a good time to be picky).

When the kid was skipping around the country, figuring out where she wanted to be, barista work was easy to find in the different towns. She learned a lot.
