Sorry for the lack of posts this week. It has been a hectic several days as this boomer household tries to deal with child and eldercare issues. We are truly in a situation where the Divine Mrs. M is trying to balance care for her 98 year old mother with day care for 2 grandchildren. I have provided occasional respite and moral support, but the chief responsibilities have fallen on the most caring and loving individual I have ever known.
Meanwhile, we are a week out from an historic election. As a nation we will make a choice to either hold the Liar in Chief accountable or not. It is not as simple as the previous sentence makes it seem. We cannot directly vote for tRump, and each individual congressional race is not necessarily seen as a referendum. However, the GOP in general is a tRump enabler and it desperately needs a firm electoral defeat to remind it of the responsibility the legislative branch has to be a check on the executive. Everyone needs to get out and vote with that in mind.
The garden continues to produce beautiful fall vegetables. I harvested several heads of cauliflower and an abundance of broccoli yesterday. Beets and carrots are also in good form. I planted next year's garlic crop just before the rain started yesterday and while the beds were a little soggy, the extra application of compost kept them from being downright muddy. We will see how this all turns out next July, but of course I have high hopes.
