We tucked in the ginger starts, planted seeds and watched them come up.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were several big rain events this month which made for a raucous ditch and Jordan Lake Dam spillway.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Camille does her best to take in the gravity of a high-water danger warning. Bob has earned Hilton Diamond Member reserved parking through his work travel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Camille took over Judy’s animal chores while she recuperated from hip surgery, earning social points and fresh eggs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another two-tiered weekend: Dinner with the Estill men on Friday, and Valentine Weekend Comedy Improv Dinner Theatre on Saturday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bob asked Arlo to silkscreen his Hempsmith logo on a tee shirt that daughter, Amy dyed using natural leaves.

Nolan in the butterfly house. Evie in her bath.<\/p>\n THIS MONTH’S QUOTES:<\/span><\/p>\n “We have enough politicians who cater to people who treat politics as the place they go to get self-indulgent moral affirmation baths. We need someone who can improve the lives of actual Americans” – David Brooks<\/span><\/p>\n “I think, whether we’re talking about gender inequality or racism or queer rights or indigenous rights or animal rights, we’re talking about the fight against injustice. We’re talking about the fight against the belief that one nation, one people, one race, one gender or one species has the right to dominate, control and use and exploit another with impunity.” – Joaquin Phoenix<\/span><\/p>\n “All gardens are asking for attention all the time, and the return for that attention is to gift you an essential now, the present moment, where you are face to face with the nature of things.” – Niall Williams, author of This Is Happiness<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n The easiest way to locate a page or photo from past issues is with this handy Search Engine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Explore the back story and much more on our blog: Plastic Farm Animals<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Two party weekends, some high water, a snow storm, garden starts, the grand kids, free eggs, and cheddar biscuits.
