Lack of posting

For those who follow this blog, I apologize for the lack of posts recently.   A combination of family and business pressure and illness is one explanation.  The depressing nature of the news is another.  It is tiring when confronted with racist, sexist and misogynistic news to try and come up with commentary which doesn't despair of human nature.   At times like these, I would prefer to commune with my 3 month old granddaughter.   When I look into that innocent face, it almost redeems the rest of humanity.   As we shop our way toward the winter solstice, I will keep trying to find the best of us.  Meanwhile, Hannah and my seed catalogs will be my hope for a better future.
