That’s MO for you.  It can go from one extreme to another (at least locally) overnight.  Of course the newly cleaned and filled pool is now in a pool!  But, all the seeds and seedlings are happy, so I’m happy.  The va bluebells and jewelweed are taking over the world this year, tant mieux pour moi!  (Look it up.)

Yesterday I cultivated and raked out some of the area around the veg garden, to be continued.  This year I want to plant mostly annual and perennial beneficial companionate flowers around it, more like a true English garden.  In fact, there will be more flowers everywhere.  The herb garden will be more dedicated and filled with annual and perennial apothecary/culinary herbs.

Down in the Lab, my tomatoes are already coming up!  Most of the other seedlings are up and looking pretty healthy, especially the cukes!  The German chamomile is actually flowering!  (Note to future self: peat pots seem to always get moldy and mildewy, even with removing the flat covers early in the process and using fans.  Maybe use new plastic pots for germination next time?)

So now S is home and Y is with Mom, so a whole other dynamic, featuring disgusting bodily noises and dorkiness as usual, but also E happily having his room to himself for once.  He removed half the kitchen moldering away in Y’s loft-bed!  So that’s where all the dishes went!  All but S are now off for their spring break, meaning it will be quiet during the days, anyway.

I know all this sounds pretty boring and mundane, but it’s one way to weather the fascist regime, just living as “normal” a life as possible.  If my hunch (based on actual facts) is right, this fiasco may not make it the full four years.  Yes, some otherwise or formerly competent leaders are being cowards and sellouts, but the outrage is fueling regular citizens of all persuasions, as well as activist leaders like AOC, to refuse to bow down and serve the self-appointed egomaniacs.  I think people are finally getting that democracy as we know it is done for.
