Dandelion, 1st March.
4:28 AM, the cottage bedroom:
I'm going to try to go back to sleep, but I almost forgot to share the dandelion I saw today!
I love the little "dent de lion," so fiercely resilient and cheery!
They make a lovely tea or wine or jelly, or delicious addition to green salad, and they're yellow!
✨️💛✨️
The first two seasons were so very clever and gorgeous, I can't wait ...

The song is based on an anti-war fantasy in the Bible in Isaiah:
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
"Because of its pacifistic imagery, "Down by the Riverside" has also been used as an anti-war protest song, especially during the Vietnam War.[1] The song is also included in collections of socialist and labor songs."

I just know that war always makes entirely new piles of problems and disasters that then need to play out for decades ...

Obama put together international coalitions for everything. Trump goes it alone--ignores USA law, even.
One is better then the other...

"Based on recent reports from February and March 2026, the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab was located adjacent to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval base."

If the USA wants to go to war to protect Israel and Saudi Arabia from Iran then the USA president needs to take that argument to congress. Not only does Trump not follow USA law, he loudly campaigned on "No War with Iran" !!!

The USA has no self-defense excuse for warring with Iran ...
Trump bombed their nuke sites last year so he can't even cry "NUKES" anymore ...
Self-defense still splashes innocent blood all over and makes you look horrible ... because all war is urban war, nowadays ...
