God help us all. Fear and anger won. Ignorance is bliss but it is also a winning strategy. I removed the Harris Walz sign from my front yard because now I am the one who is fearful of ignorant voters, some of whom didn’t even know that Biden’s name was not on the ballot. Don’t voters have a responsibility to educate themselves about the issues and whom to vote for?
Changing the subject only slightly, I made marmalade with the calamondin oranges from my backyard. I would rather be making the proverbiai lemonade from lemons but can’t right now, the Meyer lemons are not ripe yet (add expletive of your choice here) and I still have not precessed fully what happened yesterday. i have no idea what to do going forward. I am fearful for the future of my family. My grandkids are texting me about moving abroad. What do I tell them? How do we move forward from this as a family, as a community, as a country?
Today my mother would have been 102 years old. I went to Honeycreek Woodlands to commemorate her and to have a heart to heart with Charlie. I thought our conversation was going to be very, very different. I wanted him to send me a sign about what to do. I needed to be near him, if only for a short while, as I am very upset right now.
Came home, baked a whole pumpkin. Tomorrow, I’ll prepare and freeze the pulp for pies later. Made scones.
I have cooked/baked so much food in the last 48 hours out of a manic need to fill every moment with activity. I have got to stop. I am running our of freezer containers.
