The main airport is closed and all roads into the "capital of the free world" are fortified for use by tanks this weekend.

This is an image along my morning drive to work today leading to the Abraham Lincoln Memorial along The George Washington Memorial Parkway

It's been a while since I bought myself an actual toy, but here it is my new scroll saw. I need it to cut ☁️ &✈️ shapes for our summer reading display.

If things go south with library work, I can now rent myself out making fancy filigrees, wooden knobs, spirals, fretwook, finials, 'n such.

'All over our neighborhood, coming up even through the grass. Pungent enough to make a leek blush.

If you've never had onion breath, try these!

Wild Virginia spring onions are garlic-ey, and delicious, but stringy & tough; these are going into a veg stock for primo flavor.

...Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?
