It’s supposed to be an incredible year! Fire horse! Hasn’t come around for 60 years. Some of us remember the upheaval that occurred back then. This should be interesting!

How much plastic is in the ocean?
Scientists estimate 75–200 million tons of plastic
are already in the oceans.
That’s roughly the weight of every human alive today — times 10.
And it keeps growing.
Most of it doesn’t float.
It breaks down, sinks, and stays.
Out of sight.
Not out of the system.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.
Now we’ve got mumps rolling up.
Expect more.

Thanks for this post. I have ordered some top goldenrods and signed up for an online lecture they are having on Solidagos Feb 18. Check it out! #nativeplants
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast gardeners, here's a worthy distraction:
Mt Cuba Center just released their trial garden report on goldenrods! One of my favorite native plant families! Such a love/hate relationship with these, but they're great for insects and birds. 🌱

Absolutely stunning! So peaceful,calming. Thank you. I am trying to get my natives established, but my babies haven’t spread so I have gaps. Also still experimenting to have deer resistant plants. Hard to have plants decimated after winter sowing, potting up and planted. But will persevere!
I finally put together this six minute slideshow featuring the Smolenski park prairie restoration and the plants and animals in it. Six years ago it was a weedy unused farm field, now it's habitat!

We are going to be in such big trouble!
The vaccine maker Moderna said on Tuesday that the FDA had notified the company that the agency would not review its mRNA flu vaccine, the latest sign of federal health policy that has become hostile to vaccine development.
F.D.A. Refuses to Review Moderna Flu Vaccine
The vaccine maker’s shots involve the successful Covid vaccines’ RNA technology. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has broadly rejected it, canceling millions of dollars in research projects.
