L’Shanah Tovah to those of us who observe Rosh ha-Shanah, the Jewish New Year.  L’chaim–to life, a vaccine, and a trump-free new year!  I’m not asking for much!

Here is my erev RH meal, consisting of sweet Asian-style chicken, a savory noodle kugel, carrot and sweet potato tsimmes, and roasted garlic asparagus.  Also E’s holiday challah, apples, and honey for a sweet new year.

Here are some festive flowers, a blue/black butterfly on zinnias, assorted pollinators on goldenrod, and a tropical hibiscus bloom.
