I needed some purple today. Whether you are in the U.S. or not, I am sure you are aware that it is election day here. All American women should feel threatened.
Those of us who have been pregnant, given birth or had miscarriages know that it is risky business. It seems one party values the sperm more than the egg, its maker and hostess. Our survival is being threatened. I have a daughter, a son, and two nieces. I am in this battle for them and all my former students, male and female.
I have been losing sleep and my hair is falling out. My gut screams around despicable men. I am having trouble understanding how folks do not see what is so obvious to me. I will stop there.
I have been keeping busy doing manual labor as a distraction until results are in. One of my tasks for today was watering all of my plants. Watering over the winter must be limited but consistent. Maintenance is required on most tropical plants year round.
Imagine my joy when I opened the shop door and discovered my purple ginger in full bloom again. This has lifted my spirits so much.
Two elections ago I posted a blog “My Hope is Green.” I am reminded of that again today.
I am much more intune with nature than humans. When this is over, I will go back to being a plant geek until duty calls again.
A woman’s work is never done!

This is no place for a fertile female. I have never been this ferocious about an election. If I were an ob/ gyn I would leave

And I can’t get my ya ya’s out as I am still waiting on surgery. It sounds like you are recuperating.
