Bernie WON Indiana...Gardening and Brunch...



An excellent day yesterday for Bernie who won Indiana (and, incidently, also my country of Putnam)  Chris, Nicole and I, all helped.






Thing are starting to heat up for Clinton with both the FBI Investigations and rumblings that she may not be the candidate to beat Trump. And face it...we HAVE to beat Trump. Not long after Sanders won Indiana the hash tag  #DropOutHillary started to fill twitter-land. As of 6 AM, it was trending second and was numbering over 100,000.  We did manage to unload Ted Cruz last night which was GREAT...and John Kasich dropped out this morning.

Polls show Bernie beating Trump in a general by a wide margin.

I think we are going to do very well in W. Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon and California...and at this point we are definitely looking at a contested convention unless Hillary does like she did in 2008 and drops her bid .  Not likely, but perhaps the best thing for the DNC and This Country.  If her arrogance and sense of entitlement prevail...I would not be surprised at all if Trump gets the presidency in 2017. 

 We need to choose wisely.

Clinton has burned a lot of bridges and alienated a lot of voters during this primary. It is very doubtful she can pull off the general election, for the presidency now.

 Do we REALLY want to throw those dice?

Anyway...Guam on Saturday and W. Virginia on Tuesday...

Nicole and I having an after voting Brunch


before heading out to play in the garden!

The GARDEN!  It is thriving!  We've Corn and Onions up in rows...potatoes and beans and squash started. Planted MORE garlic since apparently the (now beheaded) mole was an Italian...and decimated our garlic. Nicole dispatched him execution style with a trowel...sorry mole...it wasn't personal..it was just business...  We're already using the Oregano, Thyme, Sage, Cilantro, Basil, Parsley, to cook with, the snow peas are winding their way up a twine trellis. The tomatoes and peppers are doing well despite the week's sudden cold snap...and all of the strawberry plans are now up.The flower bed has lilies and irises and gladiolas up, and it is weeded.

We even planted Sugar Baby Watermelons and Kohlrabi!

Love playing in the dirt again!

Busy week, this....but will catch up on Sunday!

More anon...
