Last view of ladies at their peak. Now they are bedraggled, brown and moving into their dormancy (they refuse to be photographed).

Time to take them apart, trim off dead roots, cut off empty blossom spikes & lightly feed. I’ll polish their leaves, check closely for mites and let them sleep.

It amazes me that they coordinate their bloom cycles with each other. Regardless of when they join the group, they bloom simultaneously.

They give me such pleasure.

Today I had some dandelion jelly and it was very good--sweet initially with a little kick at the end. Better than yesterday's violet jelly.

I don't recall the early PC days being this way in the States.

I’m sitting here eating homemade pierogi I made everybody for lunch, in a crochet blanket a friend made me years ago wearing earrings another friend made for me. I even feed my pets homemade food. I know this a bit braggy but what the hell is going on with the “traditional family” crowd??

We’ll check in Monday…

Get ready

Violets, not violence

Whenever I get a pedicure, I’m reminded of Abby’s reaction afterwards. She would sniff the new polish and turn her back on me.

You see, she loved her nails painted too. My DIL started when she was a puppy.

Pouting went on for hours.

it's odd how anti-abortion men come up with "well, i don't want to pay for abortions" when the Hyde amendment prevents government funding of abortion... but these same people do not seem to understand that by force birthing children who are unwanted or the mother can't afford means that the government will have to take full responsibility for feeding, housing, providing healthcare & education for these children. economically, allowing abortion is far less costly & allows women to be productive
