Kale, politics and advent

      A more diverse trio would be hard to imagine, but yesterday, after some rain and warm weather, I continued to harvest kale in the garden.  After two weeks of freezing temperatures which put everything else besides the collard greens into a season ending swoon, the kale looked none the worse for wear.  As long as it can take up moisture through its roots, kale is good down to temps in the low teens.  Collards are a little more tender, but so far they are surviving also.

     Meanwhile, in politics, Mike Pence can't seem to make up his mind whether to grovel at the altar of tRump or commit sacrilege and go his own way.  Kevin McCarthy continues to try and placate the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene in order to secure enough votes for the Speakership.  Why he wants to subject himself to the humiliation this will eventually come his way is beyond my understanding.

     Finally, tis the season for the Divine Mrs. M and I to sing in our chorus.   This year's concert will feature Handel's Messiah and it promises to be a glorious rendition if I do say so myself.  If you are in Plattsburgh this coming weekend we will be performing at 3 p.m. on Sunday in the Giltz auditorium at Plattsburgh State.  Come one, come all.
