Mostly Beauty

Most of the peonies are done now. There is one bush just starting, but the rest are kaput.

I have about thirty peony bushes, maybe eight different varieties. I thin and transplant every few years. For some reason they like our miserable soil and thrive. 

We have another mild day. It needs to rain but the rain gods don't care what I or any other human has to say. I find this very annoying. 

I cannot let the indictment pass. I have made a habit of leaving politics alone, more for my sake than anything. How did President rise to the level of Monarch? How can a president pardon themselves? I don't know what will come of this. I do know that the deep flaws in our system of governance are bared for the world to see.

Back to our regularly scheduled programing.
