It’s September & I’m feeling my usual angst about The Coming of the Dark. I mean, it’s nice that it’s not 90 degrees, but still…
Sunday, September 1st
No other photo, so you get this one of me after church. I do believe I was in the drive-through line at KFC. Ha!
Monday, September 2nd
Your weekly morning glories. They’re taking over the yard, but I can’t be mad about it.

Dr. M says it’s not easy being green in a concrete world!
Wednesday, September 4th
Walking in to work this morning my coworker said she thought I was wearing Jesus earrings & I said I AM!! (To be clear, I know Kamala isn’t Jesus. Just in case you’re worried about my eternal salvation.)
Dr. M says, as Saint Buffy of Sunnydale reminded us, “The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live.”

It’s muscadine season!

These spider lilies at my dad’s house are so pretty!
Saturday, September 7th
So I said to myself, “Self! It’s a lovely mild September day! Go crochet on the deck!” Turns out sitting in full sun with yarn on your lap isn’t actually very mild.
Dr. M took a photo of one of my favorite views. He says that the soybeans are looking good!
This week has been pretty heavy. One of my favorite people that I follow, Sharon McMahon, wrote a post about how we are sacrificing our children on the altar of firearm worship. She said that we need to melt down that golden calf, and I agree. We’ve all said all the words there are to say. I feel some despair, but also a smidge of hope. But that hope depends on everyone voting. I’m ready - are you?
It's. The. Guns.
ReplyDeleteNo other country is so awash in readily available firearms as we are, and that's The Problem, period. Other arguments are bullshit.
I'll be voting on Day One of early voting here in Ohio. My whole family is voting Harris/Walz.
I'd never heard of or seen spider lilies before; they're truly beautiful. Thanks for introducing me to them!
Yes IT'S THE GUNS DAMMIT. Totally agree. I keep checking my voter registration and yes will vote ASAP during early voting.
DeletePS - not really holding out much hope but isn't it exciting that NC could possible turn blue this election? Just the possibility is making my heart pitter patter.
DeleteReady here.
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI'm certainly ready to vote! The Republicans often try to argue these mass shootings are really about mental illness, but that's just obfuscation. Mentally ill people couldn't perpetrate the crimes if they couldn't easily lay their hands on a gun. It's that simple.
ReplyDeleteI love your Kamala earrings!
Thanks! I love them too! (Also, for some reason my blog flagged you as spam again - it's been a while!)
DeleteI wonder if all those people who think other people's dead kids are the price you have to pay for the freedom to have as many guns of any type that you want think that their own children would also worth the price?
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!!!
