Wow, this was a hard week in our country. Coronavirus still chugging along. The death of George Floyd, leading to protests, many of which have turned violent. I read something this week that resonated. It's not time anymore to be quietly non-racist. We need to be loudy anti-racist. I think that's so true. The experience of Black Americans in the United States is so different than for me, a white female. I have a tiny inkling of some issues being female and not always feeling safe, but that in no way compares. I don't have eloquent words to explain how I feel, but racism is wrong, and it's high time we make better progress to root it out.
In my own little quarantine world, things this week were calm. I took update pictures of my garden. I made a new mask, which after I washed it is now a bit snug, so remember that. Pre-wash if it's one of the tighter fitting styles. My kids played lots of Minecraft, did school, and we actually got to go to a little lake near us with our cousins. It was a good week.
Aaron wore this headband all day one day. It mad eme chuckle.
I made this cute new mask but didn't wash the fabric and now it's kind of small. Whoops!
Setup our AC unit for summer in our kitchen. The next day it got cold again. But we're ready now! No more 90 degree afternoons in my kitchen.
Chloe got really excited to draw in this learn to write book. I had thought she might be a lefty like Spencer because she's been very ambidextrous her whole life, but looks like she's settled on being a righty.
Slugs are destroying my baby zucchinis and I have tiny cucumbers I want to live too. So this is the new solution and hopefully they can get past the state of being tiny and beat the slugs.
Four sweet pepper plants are doing great and this is a second batch of sugar snap peas after I planted some in a big planter with a hosta because I thought they'd grow faster than it, but I was wrong. The hosta filled right out and we'll see how the peas under it do. They're not dead and they're still growing, but we'll see if we get any peas.
One tomato from the store and two tiny little things I'm growing from scratch.
Carrots
And if you look close, you can see the pea vine climbing up through the hosta.
