An Offering
The fennel has become an offering to future butterflies. A worthy sacrifice.

Kitcheree
Perfect between work and Spanish class meal–brown rice and red lentil kitcheree made in the rice cooker. Garnished with chopped herbs from the garden–mint, coriander, fennel.

State of the Garden
Garlic chives, arugula, parsley. Note that the garden has been reconfigured to allow room for distanced visiting.

Happy Equinox (Here Come the Garlic Chives)
Plenty of divides available for those in the neighborhood.

State of the Garden
Mildly disappointed that there wasn’t really any snow, but happy there also wasn’t any ice that stuck.

Nourishment
I am deeply grateful that I can soothe myself with food. I made basil, garlic chive pesto last summer when the garden was at its height and froze some (before adding cheese). The sourdough starter needs to be used at least a couple of times a month. I made enough dough to have a personal pizza four or five times. Finally got the crust both crunchy and chewy.
I could mention that work is busy, I am continuing to refine and expand making reparations and seeking decency and justice, and I am participating in an on-line meditation retreat with an hour of practice at noon every day this week.

Today I Was Overwhelmed With Grief
I practiced, including a Zoom class led by my friend Suzanne Lynch, I asked for help, I expressed appreciation to various friends and colleagues, I went out into the garden at lunchtime, made several more donations, and sat under the cat. And I re-centered enough to be able to persist.
I hope you all are finding your way in this. Let me know if you want to practice–on-line.1
