Give those trees a drink!

My Garden Path

I'm seeing a lot of dry spots in lawns. With a week and a half of over 90 degree days, it is understandable. If there are no nearby trees, some extra water will usually bring the lawn back. But, if there is a large tree near the spot, suspect it. Trees are survivors. If they get too dry, they will suck the moisture out wherever they can get it.

ARFEE: Don't forget Bridger

ARFEE: All deaths diminish us

I agree with the many writers who have expressed the killing of Arfee is not equal to the millions of babies who have been killed since Roe v Wade was made law. However, I fail to understand why we can’t be concerned with both. As human beings we should be more concerned with other human beings but it does not mean we should exclude all else. I believe we have room in ourselves to be concerned with many causes.
