Spring is almost here and Daylight Savings Time (I hate that time change) starts this weekend. We could still end up with weather cold enough to shock the blossoms and blooms that are appearing everywhere, so right now we need to be watching and waiting to see when the soil is truly warm enough to plant the tomatoes.

Nothing unusual about that. We have shovels. We’re fine.

In the short term, drought leads to farm bankruptcies, Donuel. Long-term drought leads to wildfire.

Of the two, I’d rather have neither.

No snow here but plenty of rain. Drought is easier to cope with than flood like what happened in B.C. last year.

Get well, Mrrzy! I needed all of December to recover from COVID. The version you describe sounds like what I had — a messy head-cold that just won’t go the fuck away, plus tiredness and achy joints. Christmas with no sense of taste or smell was not very joyous, but I’m now back to normal (whatever that is). I hope you’re as fortunate.

Hoping your crappy cold is not as bad as my worse-sore-throat-ever in Sept, when my entire diet for 2 days were painful sips of water & slurping on very mild sugary menthol lozenges!

Most people here are pretending that Covid is gone but its not, its only more infectious but just as deadly. Sometimes I think that Covid was not sufficiently deadly so people acted in strange ways from the politically bizarre to the deadly denialism. However strange it has been a bad rehearsal for the next worse pandemic should it occur.

keb, I think a lot of us feel like, "well I'm not 'worldwide', who wants to hear from me'. But, we do, and I wish all the people in 'ordinary' spots would check in and tell us how it's going.

Doing well in the SW of the US, a place called Yuma, Arizona, where they grow all the romaine lettuce and lots of other salad-y things, and used to mine gold and things from the desert in days gone by. A refuge from colder climes, though the desert wind and dust storms can be fierce. But right now, a nice almost-perfect winter climate, where northern Yanks and Canadians can hide out til spring. Lucky and/or blessed to be able to do so.

From damp, grey Stratford, Ontario: After two and a half years of masks, vaccinations, hand-washing and general bullet-dodging, I finally caught COVID-19. It could be a hell of a lot worse, and definitely would be if I had not eagerly lined up for every needle on offer, but it’s been 12 days and I’m still a sneezing, sniffling, coughing mess with no relief in sight.

On the other hand, I am finally getting my money’s worth out of the fancy “smart” telly I bought when the old Sony bit the dust, and the cats are loving the many hours I spend in the comfy chair when I should be at the gym or choir practice, or taking a walk or just getting the groceries in.

The minimalist lifestyle currently in fashion has a certain appeal, especially when I contemplate dusting all the bookcases, but I’d hate to be quarantined in it!
