…on the August 13 Wisconsin constitutional amendment. Deceptively written gobbledegook trying to consolidate power in the gerrymandered MAGA legislature. Since we won’t be in Wisconsin on August 13 we have asked for absentee ballots to be mailed to Kagawong, hoping the mail will be fast enough to get our ballots back to the municipal clerk in time to be counted.

Hellish weather, which limits outdoor activity, though we did pull weeds early this morning. The garden is a total loss and will be mowed tomorrow. Next year covered in fabric and perhaps hosting ever-bearing raspberries?

Successful gardens are a continuously interactive pas de deux. Vegetables, like beets, appreciate attention, whereas plants like buckthorn, mulberry, wild grape, deadly nightshade, and creeping charlie, among many others, have figured out how to go it alone. Sometimes I try to imagine what this yard would look like if left alone, but then I get the fantods. Might be fine if we had giant herbivores and unsuppressed wildfire.
Big thunderstorm last night with another predicted for tonight, thus extending the string of stormy weather.
