We’re finally having an almost really cold cold-snap, yet these volunteer tomatoes are still blooming. No chance of fruit…duh. Took me a while when I was in southern Mexico to get used to tomato plants that were several years old…no winter-kill….

They hardly look like the flamboyant redbuds of spring any more, no?

We had one crowd of exotically dressed candy-beggars last night, and then…silence…meaning more Reese’s for us!
I managed to remember the specifics of manually updating three clocks in the kitchen this morning—stove, microwave, and coffee maker. Such techno fun! (Hah!)

Bit distracted by inner thoughts (not a bad thing), so: lovely pale purple, no?

I noticed the azaleas were back in bloom, but this is the first of the rhodos I’ve seen.

Symmetry in pink.
I mention this because I’m distressed over all the “for the good of the people” laws and policies that are being overturned and ignored by the Felon in the White House and his toadies. The symmetry is to distract me.
Section 106 is part of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, and requires federal agencies (usually through contractors) to consider the potential effects of projects on historic properties, including giving the public opportunity to comment. Historic properties include archaeological sites, like buried features and objects, even roads and railroads. Section 106 does not stop projects.
If you have enjoyed reading any informational signs that mention the past, even vegetation and geology and not just historical information, then you care that Section 106 remains as it is. Call or write your senators and representatives and tell them to support Section 106 as it is, and to not eviscerate or change it.
Please indulge in collective action!

We made the transition to the winter quilt this week, so I’m noting that the seasons have officially changed.
