Protests continued throughout the US over the weekend. In cities around the country, people of all races gathered to protest the violence which all to often in the past has been taken for granted. Meanwhile, it is starting to dawn on the NRA and its sycophants in state legislatures and the Congress that all these open carry laws are making it easier for blacks to obtain weapons for self defense and so called "stand your ground" laws may absolve people of color after shootings of whites if the former had fears for their safety. That was not the way it was supposed to work.
Meanwhile, we received a welcome .8 inch of rain over the weekend, just when most of the garden was beginning to suffer, especially seedlings and transplants. Hot weather early this week will kick-start the heat lovers like cukes, peppers, zucchini and melons. Showers later in the week will keep things from getting too dry again.
Finally, a birthday shout out to Hannah Rock who officially enters the "terrible twos" today. Hannah's Nana, a.k.a the Divine Mrs. M will be dealing with the birthday girl today, hopefully to the edification of both parties.
