You can be poor, you can be disappointed, you can be dissatisfied with the government.
Whatever you are angry about, it is not a solution to vote fascist! We have been fighting for freedom and respect for minorities for decades. We all know what fascism leads to.
Have respect and the morals to respect our basic law! There are so many ways to show your protest. Trust your gut feeling and never be misled by populist-fascist people. Thank you!
As a California native I know what you mean about plants struggling and having to hide from the burn. I now live in the midwest and don't have that issue, but I know the pain well! Hopefully temps start to fall for you soon so you can take more time to enjoy what you're growing!
During today’s family viewing of the excellent #STNG episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” the 4yo asked mid-battle, “why don’t they have seatbelts?” Good question little one. Good question.
RUSSIAN GROUNDING
Russian media say that the Kremlin regime is thinking of closing some or even all Moscow airports "for several weeks with subsequent prolongation" due to the terrorist threat (drones and, allegedly, in the short term, the possibility of strikes by long-range missiles from Sumy region, Ukraine).
Reportedly, this issue seems to be very painful for the Presidential Administration, FSB and the Russian government.

With the half the season gone, I know I want to photograph my garden as much as possible to carry me through the long winter months when there are no bumblebees or butterflies to be spied from the kitchen window. I love living in a place with seasons, but fresh roses, cosmos, dahlias, zinnias, and other floriferous joys are sorely missed when the cooler weather starts to drag on.
So here's a little reminder to myself and anyone else out there this week that if you have a chance to take a moment to stop and smell the roses, take it. And maybe take a photo or five, too.

Does anyone yet live who remembers when people wanted to work at Home Depot because they hired pros who knew how to build, plumb, and wire? When you could ask someone in an orange apron a question and they offered good advice. When the employees got stock options? When you could return anything for any reason without a receipt?
Now that the local hardware stores are gone, the competition is defeated, none of those things are true.
This is the nature of capitalism.

"It’s clear the U.K. government have no desire to prevent these dangerous crossings. Instead, they pour money down the drain on policies which are unlawful, unworkable and doomed to failure.They don’t care that people die as a result. They have blood on their hands.
“The government’s approach is a moral disgrace. The British people should not fall for it. We call upon every person in this country with a shred of humanity to support our call for safe passage.”
