People

 This morning my plan was to take a walk with a friend and do yard work in the afternoon.  This afternoon, it rained.  Thw rain also put a damper on burning the things I have been cutting down.  It may have been safer to burn in the rain (if it would light), but I didn't want to sit out in the rain.  Of course the rain didn't last long, but enough for me to have changed tasks.  Thankfully it was dry and sunny for gardening and walking.

K and I worked on getting things set up for the upcoming virtual event over Labor Day weekend.  This event is when many of our Champions have competitions to determine the Champions for the next year.  Circumstances being what they are, we asked all our Champions to remain until next year when we might be able to meet again in person.  We also let them know that they could step away if they wanted.   I surprised myself as I anxiously waited for each response.  Who would have real life things that would cause them to want to step down?  Well, none of them, they all agreed to stay.  This my happy for today.  The people are why I wanted to be Baroness.  The people are why I continue doing things within the SCA.  This pandemic has made it challenging for me to be as active as I would have liked, but so many people are still there stepping up and doing things that are inspiring.  People can be awesome.  

Not my mint, but it is being pollinated.

Rain is a'comin'.

"What light through yonder window breaks." (Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet)
This is a picture of my stuff that used to be in storage.
That window and the area by it used to be completely covered with boxes.
It was a very dark area.
The boxes are still overwhelming, but there is hope shining in through that window.

Stay safe.
