Right now my concern is the election and the aftermath...no matter who wins. I think the next 4 years are going to be tough for our government. One wins and we get dysfunction, the other wins we get chaos. Needs: more strength, better balance, hearing and sight. Have a small but adequate house, can pay my bills with extra mad money left over for fun stuff. My family is healthy except for usual illnesses, no one struggling with major health crisis. A lot to be thankful.

For my mental health I grow African violets. I loved gardening until the last few years when the work overwhelmed me. I have more than halved my veggie garden, found a couple of young men who will help with what I can not do. But with violets, I can handle it all. No bending to speak of, no weeds, no heavy carts to push and pull. Something pretty to admire and tinker with year round.
