Doing well, and thanks for asking.

Been gardening. Husband actually likes it! And I'm not near finished. This is actually gonna take several years. Gotta go slowly and carefully, and - uh - sorry for the cheap steal, but "build back better" on our hillside. Wanna replace all the invasives with hill support that puts down lots of roots, and doesn't just skim streamers along the top of the dirt like ivy does, and wild blackberry vines that don't offer fruit but do present an insanity of thorns.

Trying to plant as many trees as I have room for.

Yeah, sure, that'll make up for all the damn developers and of course the runaway trump fires throughout the West.

But I still feel compelled to do what I can even if only a little bit.

gardening, and when I start to feel overwhelmed, I binge-watch old television series on Netflix. Only problem currently curtailing outdoor activities is the bad air quality here in the northern Bay Area (California).

Hubby has been able to grow one of the (cherry) tomato bushes to a height of 10 feet. (Black prince heirlooms of the type pictured in the link below.) They taste great.

Keep strong and stay safe my friend. Virtual
