Hubs and I got up early so we had time in the garden before the heat moved in. I have never been a fan of mid-west heat/humidity. This year is no exception. But if you plan your day well, it is easy to work around. We watered the grass and all the gardens before the sun burst over the horizon, sat amongst the plants with our coffee and chatted while I gathered today's harvest.
I love when mornings start like that. I don't need my mornings to start off with the news, that's for sure. Why bother? It isn't factual information and it's always doom and gloom and pushing us further and further into a sense of fear and hopelessness. I'm really getting worn out with all the news and articles about how it is so unbelievably hot, this is a "once in a lifetime" occurrence, etc. That's what they say when a bit of snow falls... guess what, I have pictures sent to me by my family of more snow falling here than I have ever seen from 1983, their car was completely buried. Well, that was just a minute ago and I've now lived here almost 20 years straight and we barely get snow, and when we do, they make it into a big crisis. Guess what, it's called weather and snow, sun, rain they happen.
I know for a fact that it's been this hot many years in a row. It's July in the mid-west, this is sadly normal. Drink some extra water, expect your grass to turn brown and your leaves to fall. It happens every year. What doesn't happen every year is the rising rates on everything. Causing folks to turn their a/c up, not being able to water the crops and farm animals, etc.
I'm tired of folks not paying attention. Really tired of it. Stop being led by the nose and open your eyes and your own memory please! For over two years it has been a solid exercise in manipulation and surprise, based on the number of masks I saw at the grocery yesterday - it's working fabulously on some of you.
None of us are weak minded, not a single one. It's just a matter of how much are you willing to be convinced of something. It's like when you go to a hypnotist, some people simply can't be hypnotized and some... well humor can be had at their expense.
I read several articles that the "president" (yeah, don't go there) may announce a climate emergency, for everyone clamoring for that to happen I sure hope you do a bit of homework about what that could lead to. Did you learn anything from two weeks to flatten the curve? Have you figured out yet that statistics can be manipulated to fit whatever story you want them to? Do you understand the power that will give a very unscrupulous group, that have already proven they don't give a crap about us or this country?

| but why? that is the question... |
The issues facing our farmers are due to the restriction of supplies, i.e. fertilizers, feed, water (you think they are rationing now?). The weather didn't cause any of that, supplies are being limited intentionally. Think toilet paper, do you really think the American people bought that much toilet paper? Remarkable how much of it suddenly reappeared a few months later. Now stores are bulging at the seams with the stuff. Limiting supplies and non-stop news stories created that panic. They are doing the same thing now.
I personally have never wanted to live in a country that is controlled by politicians and power hungry thieves. I have lived in socialist countries before and can honestly state, not impressed. Communist countries have never even remotely been on my list. Yet, I fear that is where we are headed. Because it appears that we have become complacent and easily manipulated. We believe what is being force fed to us, instead of what we see with our own eyes. It's so very sad. We are being destroyed and yet many just go along with the narratives presented. Blind to what they know is truth.
Yesterday, I saw a news article with a couple of congress women being "led" away from a protest. Both of them pretended to have their hands cuffed behind their backs as they were led away. Strange how those handcuffs work, because I watched both of them raise a fist in solidarity with their fellow protesters and then lower their arms to appear handcuffed again. I've never been handcuffed, but I am fairly certain that is a physical impossibility. So why the game? Why try to appear handcuffed? What was the value in the lie.
I don't like lies. I struggle hard with liars, in fact in my world it is one of the worst things a person can do. Maybe that is why I am struggling hard with everything that is going on, it sends my b.s. meter off the charts. Don't lie, don't deceive, don't manipulate. None of these things works for me, and yet watching folks it appears many are easily swayed.
If you really want to understand what is going on with our weather, look at the past, it always proves the future, it's cyclical. It's happened before, it will happen again. I'd worry more about the freedoms we are giving up to a false story. There is bad stuff happening, but I don't believe our precious earth is the cause. Neither is the sun (despite the tales you are being told) we are in a solar minimum and have been for several years already, it won't end until 2030 (isn't that ironic). This means less sunspots and solar flares, although if you listen to the news there is a new solar flare getting ready to hit the earth almost daily. But hey, people don't take the time to do any sort of research anymore, so I'm not surprised that they are believing the rhetoric.
I'm going to keep questioning everything, I'm going to keep looking for real answers not manufactured for the moment ones. I am going to keep taking care of my family and being the best I can be. I don't know what your plans are, I have no idea if you believe the fairy tales being told. But...
If I offended you, sorry. Seems folks spend way too much time in their feelings these days. I'm not there any longer.
love and prayers... it's all we have left...
Good one! 381!
