But, don't think this was only organic disease. We were attacked.
Jill Stein was part of the frame.
This disease was more a matter of shrapnel metallosis. Inflicted, thought healed, hidden damage, late appearing sequele. Some of it inherited from the lingering effects of slave culture. Much of it the entrenched patriarchy. We hate those we oppress. We fear those we have treated unjustly, knowing we will be hit by the recoil even as we deny it.
So, we fight on. With thorough compassion.
I rooted a couple of shallots, planted them this morning. More fennel seeds sown. Pulled a few weeds.
The poppies are flourishing. Well, everything seems to be. Two full days of rain this week, and the ground is deeply damp.

pc,
I shall. Both.
gz,
Thinking of you down all the way south.
Fennel is a bully in Northern California. But then rosemary grows into a shrub there. In your dry climate maybe fennel will be meeker. Here's to herbs in the garden. We're getting rain here and I'm looking for my thyme and mint. But I think the winter deep freeze got them and I'll need to start again.
My front and back yards are still very snow covered. Still quite a few weeks before I'll see any sign of Spring here.
