This latest surge of US COVID cases and deaths is shattering all previous records, yet people are still going about their business in total denial.  That’s one serious death wish.  Meanwhile, our delusional pretender-in-chief cowers and sulks in his bunker, telling himself he will rule forever, or else.  Our country is an insane asylum run by babies.  The Biden/Harris WH can’t come soon enough.

In more natural news, it’s starting to look and feel more fall-like after the long, steady rain we had.  Whirlwinds of leaves swirled and covered the grass with bright confetti.  My newly-planted trees are happy.  My drifts of dill that germinated from scattered dill plant seeds are covered with raindrop jewels.
