It’s been a good week for the garden but a bad week for the world. So please, enjoy these pictures of the produce I grew and fed to my family and the flowers I cut for my dining room table while I unload my heart.

My very least favorite thing about living through this pandemic is by far all the division it is causing. We are a people divided. Maybe we’ve always been divided, but the cause of division has never been so obvious - as in right there, on-your-face obvious. And it’s not just the masks. We are divided on restrictions to business operation, we are divided on schools re-opening, we are divided on how public worship should or should not be conducted. These are not just differing opinions. These are deep division and if we are not careful they will become breeding ground for all sorts of other new maladies; mistrust, resentment, gossip, slander.
