I’m all over the place right now…being pulled in a dozen different directions when all I want to be doing is gardening. Luckily it’s going to get stormy for the next few days so I can get some actual paying work done.
A couple of things caught my attention this morning while I was actively ignoring the 24/7 rotting orange corpse sucking up all the media O2.
Here’s some better news to close out the afternoon:
