I took leave in the middle of the day in between working for several hours at home and going into the office for a semi-obligatory office party. It was cold, but it was good people were out. One citizen speaker talked about how she is finding her voice and learning to raise it. Her child needs medical care.

Asteya and Juneteenth
Asteya in Sanskrit means non-stealing and is the third yama of the yamas and niyamas set forth in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras as a critical part of the path of yoga. White people giving themselves a holiday created by Black people for themselves without both taking action against current injustice and inequity is a classic example of what would be stealing.
Could you give extra support to a Black business today? Donate to a Black-run organization working to fight for civil rights or voting rights or equal access to health care, education, and support services or against police brutality? Give mutual aid? Write to your elected officials about said issues?
We don’t have to do everything every day, but it is not ok to do nothing.
This Evening on the Catio
The snow pea shoots were
Especially exquisite.
And the kale flowers.Hydroponic tomato from one of the farmers at the Penn Quarter Thursday market and organic avocado, tossed in tahini and then sprinkled with fine balsamic vinager, supplement sprouts grown on the counter and an assortment of tender garden greens.
Cool infusion of peppermint, spearmint, lemon balm, and licorice mint.
The season has turned.

A Satisfying Morning
This morning I again joined “Living Classrooms DC,” which I found through the “Sustainable DC” volunteer website, removing invasive shrub honeysuckle. It is only one of the invasive species threatening the balance of health on the islands. Just because a nursery sells an invasive (for example English ivy) and you see it around, does not mean it is healthy to plant. Please check and do not plant any invasives.
Heh. I assume that’s the correct quote. I learned it worded slightly differently.
