In a Summer Garden by Frederick Delius
And yeah, that is what my sun garden looks and feels like. Butterflys, bees, a little wind, a few birds. The only thing he left out was my cussing and sweating as I pull the crab grass. He probably hired gardeners to pull weeds, so he couldn’t appreciate that aspect of a summer garden.
Enjoy, Jack
thanks, jack. have to do weed pulling right after it rains otherwise the heavy clay soil here has turned to sun-baked brick. pick-axes even have a hard time of it.
weeds? song about the other kind whether plant, animal or architecture.
remembering melvina reynolds singing what became the theme song for the TV series “weeds”
truly a sun garden, ukrainian sunflower field

Weeds
White with daisies and red with sorrel
And empty, empty under the sky!—
Life is a quest and love a quarrel—
Here is a place for me to lie.
Daisies spring from damnèd seeds,
And this red fire that here I see
Is a worthless crop of crimson weeds,
Cursed by farmers thriftily.
But here, unhated for an hour,
The sorrel runs in ragged flame,
The daisy stands, a bastard flower,
Like flowers that bear an honest name.
And here a while, where no wind brings
The baying of a pack athirst,
May sleep the sleep of blessèd things,
The blood too bright, the brow accurst.
there’s also Tennyson’s “the Flower” that starts off
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.
To and fro they went
Thro’ my bower,
And muttering
Cursed me and my flower.
[continues for a few more verses]
The weeding is worth it for the tomatoes
You remind me, Jack. Need to pick up some fresh corn while they’re still in season.
Georgia judge in Trump case faces reelection next year in one of the most reliably Democratic counties in the entire nation. It has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 1876. He was appointed by the Republican governor two years ago, so voters will likely be on the lookout for pro-Trump bias.

if Trump is concerned about the location of the trials he should have committed the crimes in friendlier areas
Malvina Reynolds was singing about suburbs of SF specially Daly City
I’ve long been a fan of other people gardening.
My garden has that raggedy August charm, monarchs sighted 👍
An ear of my corn got a fungal infection known among farmers as “corn smut” but regarded by Central Americans as a delicacy called (and i gotta look this up) “huitlacoche”.

“Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft crashed into the Moon on Sunday, leaving the race to first land at the unchartered south pole which the scientists believe contains important reserves of frozen water and precious elements.”
“ Luna-25, according to Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, spun into an uncontrolled orbit before crashing into the Moon’s surface.”
“India’s Chandrayaan-3 will also be attempting a landing on the south pole on August 23-24, paving the way for it to be the first to land on an unchartered territory of the Moon.”

The hardest action to a spacecraft, after launch, is preparing it to orbit or land. You are blowing panels and bolts off that hold things in place. The shaking and jolts are happening as power is moving things out or in. That is how parts fail that were not correctly soldered or had lost something in space, degassing. Things jam because no matter how well it is tested on Earth, the lack of gravity causing all sorts of havoc, typically seen on solar panels rolling or unfolding out. It is also when you have activated different computers from the flight operations so stuff can go wrong.
So the russians plopped it on the Moon. Happens to everybody. India had theirs fail recently. But it could not have happened to a more deserving dictator. Guess some more people will drink the tea or find falling out of windows a new career path, just like the bird that buried itself in the Moon South Pole.
my theory on why meadows wants his GA indictment moved from state to fed court:
he’s possibly working on a deal with jack smith planning to plea to a lesser federal crime in both cases so he can escape that mandatory 5 year minimum sentence in the state RICO law. as someone recently noted fed prison for white collar criminals is pretty cushy compared to even a day in Georgia prison system.
excerpt from jeff darcy’s cartoon editorial in cleveland paper:
There will soon be a grande opening of the “flipper” floodgates…..they’ll be racing, scratching, and clawing one another to trv and make the exits. It’s going to be a rout, a huge one, and the big plane’ll be looking for a nice fat gold escalator in Desert Land.
Office Pool…….in what country does the big plane first land on the Taking A Powder Tour?
Here is a picture of a leader getting a chance to smile and relax for a few minutes. F16 seat must feel very good.
We don’t have an extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia or Russia, but what good is SFB to them if he’s forever out of power?
Does he take the family with him or do they try to gain control if the US? If Cokey Junior or one of the others stays behind, SFB would still be a link to them…although, he would be redundant. MIDDLE MANagement is always the first to go.
they’re effing insane, the lot of them
…the grandest trophy of them all
Office Pool: Who will be the first family member to be knocked off the curb in front of the oncoming bus?
Orange Adolf, himself. Once he he’s convicted if racketeering charges in Georgia, Junior and his gargoyle, Ivanker and JarJar, and Irk and Liara will all try to take his place. They didn’t really know him.
He’s no trophy if he has no power. He’s the booby prize.
BB, yes it’s a happy smile and here it is in motion along with planes in the air and a lot of talking heads pontificating.
The Netherlands and Denmark have agreed to supply F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine to boost its counteroffensive against Russia. President Zelenskyy met the Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The two leaders posed in the cockpit of an F-16. Denmark says it hopes to provide six fighter jets. Earlier in the day, he met with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte who said his country will deliver the aircraft once the conditions are right. It’s not clear how many will come from the Netherlands. Ukraine has long been asking its western allies for the US-made fighter jet. Zelenskyy says the aircraft will provide a combat edge to drive back the Russian invasion.
He has no clue.
