Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated.

It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing.

I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

Good morning friends! Hope you can take some time to unplug and recharge this weekend.

Mood:

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

Time to turn over the garden beds for the warmer spring gardens.Last week I made a delicious roasted veggy mix. Yesterday(no pic) was a white bean kale soup.*Rain=Soup*I still have more kale than me or my extended family can eat.So here comes my favorite part 🙄, processing and preservation.

Update on the Water Harvesting Garden. Basin are formed and lined with stone. We also had enough rain yesterday to try out our first flush. Huge success!!🎉. We have been continuing to use the gray water system every weekend when we wash. No more wash water emptying into the sewer system!!

More work on the side yard garden. We planted our fruiting plants, artichokes and connected the gray water system to each plant. Did a "wet" run, and 🎉 we are now using our washing machine to water our fruit trees!! We even got enough rain last night to fill up our first flush on the tank.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Insanity: The deportation flights Trump used military jets for—that Mexico refused to accept—cost the U.S. up to $852,000 per flight to attempt to deport just 80 migrants at a time.

To compare, flights directly chartered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement cost just $8,577.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…
