I find singing: bee-balm-a-lula she’s my baby! to bee balm really gets that new growth popping (other plants like it too) š
Noted!
That climate resilient childhood piece is a gutpunch. Last month we stocked up on our kiddie KN95s for the kinder and bought a new air purifier for the baby’s room in advance of what I assume will be a 3 month smoke season here in California. We’d move but can’t outrun a climate crisis….
Best to you and your family SJ. We too stocked up on respirators, air filters, and furnace filters.
I wish more people knew they could not outrun a climate crisis and worked within their community to create change. In the PNW, we are being flooded with those trying to run, creating a soaring increase in housing costs and, ironically, issues of space, natural resources, and equity.
The phrase that keeps ricocheting in my mind is, “we’ve made a world inhospitable to children.” It’s hard not to despair
