The yard waste bin doesn't get much use, since I compost. So I use it as a rain barrel. A little over 3/4 full, and will water the front garden.
Today, sun. Again. As per. Allium look about to go sssspppfffftt! and bloom, perhaps in the next week.
In a purple sphere of flower.
Heard today that my manager-who-never-had-our-backs, who was supposed to be around for another 18 months, will be essentially gone in a week. Ostensibly to another job. To be replaced with an actual OR manager. I have to wonder what politics were involved, but probably happier not knowing. Happy enough just that she won't be around.
They've been holding meetings in our tiny lunch room, at exactly the time we give coffee breaks, when the only place staff have to go for ten minutes to sit and grab a snack is the tiny lunch room. One of our nurses, B. told them off today, and they held the meeting elsewhere. B. is one of those people who can tell you about an undone zipper or tp on your shoe, and you won't mind, so they apparently didn't. So annoying they didn't themselves think to use an actual conference room instead, but our useless manager no doubt held meetings there out of convenience to herself. She has no clue what we do, after nearly seven years, nor any interest in understanding.
Thankfully, she's also been largely absent. We run ourselves, just needing a little upper level support long term. I'm not expecting much from any manager, really. Would be nice if someone had our backs, though.
Happier watching the garden, not sure if it's weeds or intentional seeds, but there is sprouting.

Removing poison from the workplace is always a good thing. Curious that the politics that moved that manager worked out for you so well, but as you say, no matter what the cause, the news is good.
We are getting about 20mm of rain today, it started in the night last night and will continue until supper time. My equivalent barrel to yours would be full already.
Phil,
Well, I suppose we could get worse to replace her. I like to think the next one will be at least a little improvement.
Oh, boy, GREEN!
We had snow here in Mpls today---rain just frozen enough to form white blobs.
TO dream the impossible dream:
to have a manager who has your back.
Not entirely impossible, but a rare beast, anyway.
Frex,
Just a little bit, even. Guard us from the predatory Other Departments and Higher Ups, at least occasionally. Hell, know what we do... .
