In June 2020, the phrase "Black Lives Matter" had been painted on the pavement by the city in uppercase, yellow letters, covering two blocks on 16th Street, about a quarter mile from the White House.
City crews have begun painting over the 'Black Lives Matter' street mural in D.C.

Thinking about spring and getting back to gardening and adding the next batch of chicks...maybe even bees. Having some food self-sufficiency seems more important than ever.

Putting my apocalypse, martial law, climate disaster, potentially screwed up pandemic response supply order together. Two days into Trump 2.0 and not sure what to do first.

Finally captured this escape artist living in my front porch. Actually my teenage son/cat whisperer did. No microchip, so she's with us now. Meet Rolo.

Opposed to guns but had to re-evaluate the safety of my home for personal reasons. I will get PROPERLY trained. This may not be a bad idea considering how the institutions around us are being threatened. I am so sad for my children and grandchildren growing up in this angry, divided country.

I see people posting bookshelves. My grandkids' books are taking over mine. Reading "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" and "The Dovekeepers." Also reading a lot about homesteading. Being more self-sufficient seems important right now.

This cat now lives on my front porch but won't allow me to put her in a carrier to have her scanned for a chip or to be checked over. Any suggestions for non-traumatic capture? My family has grown attached and so have my 2 indoor cats.
