Participated in No Kings 3 in Wooster OH. Great turnout and a lot of young people. Local veteran gave an amazing speech about how DJT doesn’t care about service members- active or not.

Another great turnout for #NoKings peaceful protest in Wooster, OH. Estimated attendance 1500 in a city of 27000 that included students, families, seniors, and all generations. No sign of hating America- just great hope for righting the wrongs of the current administration.

🌱Common eastern bumblebee 🐝 foraging in basil flowers. Other pollinators love this plant so I left the flowers on. They are actually quite pretty.

Lovely (to a plant pathologist) Botrytis lesion on a pansy leaf. Botrytis is a common fungus with a broad host range that prefers cool, damp conditions; it’s a weak pathogen and often attacks flowers, which then fall off, providing a “base” for the fungus to infect hardier foliage.

🧪More pollinators! Green metallic sweat bee, leaf cutter bee, western honey bees, and bumblebees visiting our flower and herb container garden. The sweat bee has collected an impressive amount of pollen. All bees were identified by AI thru Google Lens, so may not be accurate. Corrections welcome.

Pollinators like this western honey bee are attracted to my urban flower garden. They also visit basil flowers, which I usually snip off, but this year left them on to encourage these pollinators. 🧪

Participating in a No Kings peaceful protest in Wooster OH (pop. 27000). There are at least 1000 protesters- interesting signs and lots of support from drivers passing through downtown.

15 years ago I had the pleasure of shaking hands with former President Jimmy Carter on a flight from Atlanta to Amsterdam. Pres. Carter came up one aisle in Economy and back down the other, shaking hands with people before returning to the front. He was so gracious & did not need a flying palace!
