Commenting on my own post to say that, even though I wrote this rather hot take today, I do also recommend you listen to Heather Cox Richardson, an actual historian, talk later this evening about the US history of bombing the Middle East and about men-children who don’t even know what to do when they don’t get their way.

Thanks Nancy. You didn’t mention that the soil we are trying to live in right now has been poisoned. I wonder if continuing to turn the soil and replant with healthy ground cover will help heal that issue.

Yes, metaphorically and in reality. I really wondered about this purchased soil, which was commercial and dry, whereas what I did not mention is the plants for which I'd saved random seems from pumpkins, squashes, and even a watermelon, and put right in the ground that already existed are doing quite well. Lessons learned and still learning lessons. Thanks for reading, Jackie, means a lot to me.
