A day in the garden does wonders...clearing, organizing, preparing, planning, a bit of planning.
There will be rhubarb soon.

I was lectured by a hummingbird, given the stink eye by an opossum and an eagle circled above my head. The little birds flew in and out of the garden chatting as they passed by.
It's their world too.
I also did some stitching. Nancy made me think of trains...

So I started a train for the Peace and Plenty blanket.
And at the end of the day there was the comfort of dinner with friends (Hazel!).

Before going in to the restaurant (the first time in 7 months), I sat in the sunshine on a bench watching people play. There is a green space in this area, surrounded by stores, restaurants and apartments.
After coming home, I thought about everything happening in the world and the conversation on On Being with Colette Pichon Battle. It is an important one, about climate change, full of many things to consider.
"I think I’ve learned that even people who are — who see the world differently from you, they love something. And if we take the time to share what we love with one another, we can see each other’s humanity, and we can feel each other’s value. And if we can connect in a real way, that’s what we need to accompany each other, because some of what is going to be asked is that you just let me be."
I love that she uses the term "care economy," it's one to hold on to.
On climate change, there is also this: "These Climate Scientists Are Fed Up."
I am going back out to the garden again today.
There are things we can do.
