Innocently opened my front door and was instantly stung by a wasp!⚡️🦟⚡️Right next to my watch band! So much for getting much done today. Even though I slathered it immediately with Medicinal Clay, my wrist HURTS! Anyone else have any home remedies they can recommend!

Went to my local library yesterday after doing my shopping. Dropped off four books I read. One was Freezing Order, the sequel to Bill Browder’s Red Notice. Both are non-fiction Thrillers. Picked up five more books I had put On Hold. First one I started with is Senator Whitehouse’s The Scheme. Phew, does it start out quickly, like putting he pedal down on an Electric Car!

I am reading John Lewis Gaddis’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of George F. Kennan, a Russian expert before World War II. I just came across something he wrote during the War, before the Yalta Agreement. Ukraine must win against Russia’s aggression!

Finally outside at the right time to take pictures of my old Split Rock Plant. This year it is picture proof of this extensive cold winter. This plant usually blossoms in February!

Watched CBS Sunday Morning this morning. This panel made me stop and look, twice! When will we wake up from this kind of trauma and grief. Without a firearm, suicides are less successful.

After finishing Prodigal Summer, I started reading another Barbara Kingsolver book, Lacuna. She wrote the book prior to 2009, and yet this passage so clearly describes what we have on FAUXNews, and other cable news outlets. What would she write of today's anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, antisemites, overt racists, and fake news?

In looking for package of Coconut sugar I stored somewhere, I came upon this gallon jug I fill and use in emergencies. I guess one of the resident mice found it was a nice place to make a bed, WITH. INSULATION. FROM. MY. HOUSE.
