So many people at the Beaverton #nokings protest! The boys came with me for their first protest. The energy was peaceful, serious, yet jovial with music and community.

"The great glory of American democracy is the right to protest for right." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Whole in Memphis, I visited the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel where MLK was shot in 1968. It was a moving experience.

Human*kind. Be both.

I got to play in the garden between rain drops today. I'm feeling anxious about my onion starts. Are they going to be ok? My cats and others think I built them the best litter box in the neighborhood. So I'm fortifying my defenses. Hubby pruned the pear tree too. #pnwgardening #gardening 🌱 #varmits

20 Books in 20 Days that have stayed with me. Just covers, no reviews. Also no particular order.

I've seen this going around, and now that I've unpacked some of my books, I'll play. (I realize it doesn't mean literally with me. :D )

I finally got my 144 onion starts and planted them this weekend. I should have done this back in Oct/Nov, so hopefully they will be ok. Can't wait to really get the garden going. 🌱 #pnwgardening

And then my kitchen faucet broke. The end of the faucet completely broke off! I've never seen or heard of such a thing happening before. I guess we could handle the kitchen, but the kitchen couldn't handle us!

Family canning and cooking day! Making room for the cow in our freezer, so we processed our frozen tomatoes into spaghetti sauce, brothed and canned beef, chicken, turkey and ham, ground up a pork roast, then made guacamole and chicken enchiladas from our roaster. We are ready for the apocalypse!

A Piece of History: these barrels carried my grandfather's belongings during WWII. You can see where they were stamped from Pearl Harbor to be delivered to his home in Portland. He mostly drove tanks across France as 2nd Lieutenant of the 12th Armored Div. Coolest heirloom #organizinggarage
