It's a good weed collection but it could be so much worse. I went for a walk near Mt Victoria and some of what was there was horrendous. I have to be grateful for small mercies
I wholeheartedly agree with your statement there Melanie. I suspect we humans have been debating that optimism vs pessimism for quite a few Millenia now. Couching it as ‘planned optimism’ is a wonderful addition to my debate tactics, thank you!
Thanks. It's a real struggle right now, but it's certainly helped to focus on the differences which are possible. I'm also reading The Serviceberry by Robyn Wall Kimmerer so am also looking for the places I can make a difference there.
You have a great assemblage there. Best of luck for the long term. My weeding days are over I’m afraid

I keep hearing about this book (The Serviceberry). I guess I need to bump it up my list of must reads.
