After five days without electricity and 13 days without running water, I can say that I am definitely missing creature comforts. But here are a couple of nice pics from a walk.

It is official. I have my tickets and we leave for Rwanda Aug. 20! I cannot wait to leave and be somewhere my education and talents are valued.

T-23 days to the start of the great move. I finished the front flower bed. All non essentials packed. I can’t wait to get out of here. Gashora here I come!

Whoever planted the ivy in my yard is hopefully getting what they deserve. Vines are the worst! But the front bed is finally cleared.

My son had a neurology appointment this week. None of the options are good ones and my heart is so very heavy. Here he is: my sunshiny empathetic love. All the thoughts, prayers, and kind energy appreciated.

In much better news, dinner consisted of this cherry tomato marinara style sauce and tomato/basil/ mozzarella. All veggies from my garden! Tomorrow I tackle more sauces and a fresh pico

Today I made things with the first harvest of tomatoes. Tomorrow I get my kids back from their dad and time becomes more real and pressing. I hope I can keep up learning about food preservation, something we will need to do in the near future.

Today we made more extract. One Tahitian vanilla about a month out from ready, three Madagascar vanilla just made, one blackberry just made, one lemon, and an almond, each a couple weeks from ready.

I’ve been off line the last few days as my best friend of 30 years (except for a five year period when we had different life paths to explore) is visiting. Meanwhile my blackberry bush is in full harvest mode. Here’s some dehydrating.

Here’s what I wrote: it has come to my attention that your company is allowing the gearapo to use your buses to harass and terrorize residents of the US. You should rethink your position. Think about what happened to Target and that wasn’t openly abetting fascism. Do better.

The news is bleak if you know where to look and don’t get sucked in by hopium. Just the moves by DHS and Dept of State would be bad enough, but the #collapse is everywhere. So I pause and stand amid my blackberry bramble and note the pollinators. And breathe. For now

No. Eat the rich. Except they probably taste terrible, so let’s just send them to a prison in El Salvador and take all their shit. It was not earned.
