The front and back yards have had the first mow of the spring, early enough this year that it the mower made it through the tallish grass without choking to a stop. The new boots are breaking in nicely and I'll be getting more boot socks soon now that I've figured out the weight that will work best.

Outside the back door one has the impression of a snow storm just beginning with a few flakes, but it's the white flowers on the Mexican plum starting to drop petals.

There are a lot of weeds that need pulling by hand from various beds and some, like thistles, are big enough to need the weed-popper (patty, hit things with strong vinegar and orange oil when they're smaller and tender, otherwise they should pull out more easily now.)

My League of Women Voters sign was put in the yard last night that urges people to "Vote like Democracy Depends on it (It Does)" as we have primary day today. Last year my candidate signs were stolen but this was left alone; this year I'll have to place the candidate signs so they're in view but not so reachable.

This was posted in the convicted felon thread: I complained about all of this Trump BS to my representatives in letters I mailed over the weekend. A version appeared in my teeny tiny blog.
