May 21, 2021 - in my former garden in East Falmouth Massachusetts: a tawny cranesbill, "Espresso", beneath Azalea, "Gibraltar". The cranesbill in the middle, in back, is "Biokovo", and the other Azalea is "Lemon Lights" (I think). 🌱

3. As I did before on that other site, I will support, promote, and repost #writers, the #writingcommunity and good #journalists
They are all the lifeblood of civilization and we need them now more than ever.
Find one you like and donate if they need it. They will thank you.
Peace.

PETITION: Stop book bans in America. Extremists are pushing laws that would censor libraries and even criminalize librarians for the books on their shelves. No one should face charges for protecting the freedom to read. Sign and share. #BannedBooksWeek social.demcast.com/s/lTktlRy8
