I haven’t had fresh snow peas since we moved from the Lodge in the summer of 2016. I’m not even sure if I planted them that spring since we were moving to the retirement home in Columbia, MD that June. So the last harvest would have been in 2015 - 10 years ago. Moving to NH was not even on the radar for us in either of those years.
On Monday when I was working in the garden the other peony still hadn't bloomed or so I thought.
Even looking from the dining room table I couldn't see it. Tuesday was a rainy day so I didn't venture out for a closer look until today. But then this morning I caught a glimpse of color and went out with the iPhone to capture it up close.
My Dad was very active in the Civil Rights Movement.
If he was still alive he would have been on the street for No Kings Day yesterday. I'm honoring him by carrying on his legacy of standing up for the rights of others.
Here's the news from No Kings Day organizers.
No Kings Activists,
What an incredible day!
We knew No Kings Day would be huge, but we never imagined just how big it would be. We turned out over five million people (and still counting) across 2169 events in countries all around the globe.
This is what real democracy looks like.
The people drive the policy, not the other way around. And when the wealthy try to buy their way into unchecked power, we stand up and loudly remind them who runs this country.
The over 200,000 people who turned out in NYC.
The over 100,000 in Philadelphia.
The 400 people who showed up in a town with a population of only 800 in Michigan.
These people are the true backbone of America.
