Protest at Highland Square in Akron. There were 150 or so chilly folks exercising their rights as citizens.

Another one at the No Kings protest in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Alas, I don't have a picture of my niece's dog with her "ICE melts when you pee on it" sign.

I was also out and about, doing my No Kings best at the Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio protest. (Hi Brenda!)

In northeast Ohio, the Master Gardeners have a "Nature in My Backyard" program, where they send a volunteer to your house and spend an hour and half going over what you can do to start naturalizing your yard. Hopefully your area has something similar.

Texas Master Gardener - Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service The Texas Master Gardener program trains and supports a network of volunteers to provide horticultural-related information within their communities.

Have you checked with the Master Gardener program in your area (agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/asset-local/...)?

Christina Baehr's Secrets of Ormdale series. The fifth (and final) book was just released. The first book is Wormwood Abbey - "As a Victorian clergyman’s daughter, Edith Worms has seen everything — until a mythical salamander tumbles out of the fireplace into her lap."

Bluesky will be far more enjoyable if I figure out how to get rid of the all the "ooo! ahhh! look at this cool account to follow!" posts that are filling my feed.
