Researching ways to get rid of a groundhog I had a sort of revelation. I'm letting these animals get the best of me. Today I have decided that my best plan of action is to embrace the groundhog. I do not mean literally. Even the figurative meaning is off a bit. This year the garden is not going to produce much, again. Part of the reason is the woodchuck/groundhog family. Part of the reason is that I started with a bang but ran into things along the way that have derailed my efforts. My hope is to concentrate on getting the fence where I want it to be to help keep out as many critters as I can while making the garden a place they might not want to be. I also hope to do more prep work and research about the soil and other conditions and rent a tiller to get rid of some of the weeds. If I can find a way to plant the things I have already started and keep them protected from the critters that want to eat them, I will. My mindset needs to shift though. Anyway, here are other happy things from today:
- Keziah has been helping some friends clean out their storage unit. In the process, she has brought home a few things.

| I'm not sure how long it has been there, but I noticed this statue by some of the wild sweet William. |
- The bindweed and grapes are holding each other.
 |
| I really like the bindweed flower. They are in the same family as morning glories which I also like. |
- The SCA household that I am a part of had a gathering today. Six of us were able to attend. It was so wonderful to see these friends. I arrived early enough to walk with Anastasia and be greeted by her cat. One of the friends we haven't seen in a few years and that helped to make the day even more special. It was really fun getting to catch up with, and hug, this group of people. I wish I had remembered to take a photo of us.
