One advantage of having had a couple of weeks between moving trips is having time to think of every little f***ing  mundane item to pack or do.  This may be the most OCD pack job I’ve done yet.  I’ve thought of almost every contingency, with corresponding lists.  And still I’m sure there will be pesky last minute scrambles, and items lost in the shuffle.  But hey, it’s all organized, somewhere!

Here are some of the latest bloomers in the garden.  I’m going to appreciate their appearances until the very last moment.  Taking nature breaks is what keeps me sane and sustained through upheavals.  Plants and animals calmly go through their processes and changes, adapting to all the toxic crap humans throw at them, and still manage to look unfazed and fabulous.
