Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Found quite a few boughs on the forest floor & a bunch of holly to start the tomato cage tree & garland.
