Yesterday was the first day of spring?

I missed it?

What the heck am I going to do with this giant wicker man, now? Do I need to return the cop?

Can I keep this until next year, or do I need to make a new one?

My wicker man, in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Well, at least I don’t have to worry about returning the virgin policeman.

Day 20,500 b –

Midday walkies were nice today. Creaky parts were less creaky, but coughing parts were more coughy – Spring is in the air, and so is pollen.

I am glad that I didn’t feel as much of a need for an oil can, and a little light rain should get the particles out of the air soon enough.

Day 20,500

Hints of spring today. The sun is warm but the wind is cold! Pears and redbud are going strong, as are daffodils and forsythia. My own coat is transitioning from woody vines to a more leafy coverage,  and I expect a bloom or two there any day now.

Nearly 50% of staff at the US Department of Education was fired last week, with more than 1,300 employees given termination notices and nearly 600 workers taking voluntary resignation offers. Offices covering research, data and statistics were decimated.

FACTS: According to Trump it’s “patriotic” to boycott Bud Light for letting a trans person do an ad, but “illegal” to boycott Tesla because their billionaire founder is taking money from starving children.

Day 20,499

Spring is coming more assuredly now, and I am feeling the effects of both pollen and pear trees showing color.

Warm temps aren’t really my jam, but I am looking forward to doing more walks by the river as my strength and tolerance grow.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk’s billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.

Elon Musk, who was once worth over $320 billion, has seen his fortune plunge by $200 billion, setting a new world record for the largest personal wealth loss in history.
