So it begins. After pulling 100# from the greenhouse garden heirlooms are ripening. We’ve been sharing with the local food pantry/neighbors/friends/family. Reading the news reinforces our decision to tend to our garden which nurtures health, relationships and keeps poisons from our bodies.

It's corny as hell but the solution to fascism is loving thy neighbor
This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota.
Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not.
I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.
