Garden report: Soggy as hell. Slugs going crazy.
Canadian wildfire update: Who knows? That was yesterday’s headline.
Thank you for the local report. Having just toured your beautiful Capitol building we felt so close to this latest catastrophic weather event. Hope your garden us recovering nicely. Keep the Silverback brethren updated. Peace and strength to the beautiful green state.
I hope those dwelling by Gilead Brook are safe and dry!
Good to hear from you. Gilead Brook is raging, but we are safely above it.
