We've made it to June. I kept checking the news today and it kept being bad. Some things that worry me: the press covering the Black Lives Matter protests are being attacked by police. The militarization of the police, and their willingness, in cities all over the country, to violently disperse peaceful crowds. And basically every word out of the president's mouth (or his twitter account). A very smart friend of mine who has studied political science and history has said that the next two steps that will lead us away from democracy as we know it are: martial law being instituted, and elections being put off. Let's please stop this before that happens.
I went for a long walk today with my blissfully unaware dog and was surrounded by fluttering butterflies, zipping dragonflies, chirruping birds, waving grass, blue sky, and whispering trees. It's a little surreal, living out in the woods and the fields with my small family and our animals. Meanwhile, people are protesting, police are arresting, our racist narcissist of a president is encouraging the violence, and the coronavirus is not going to take a break for any of it.

at this stage of growth with all those little hairs. So cool. |
