CIRCLE WITH A DOT

A nice surprise from yesterday: some of my chard plants over-wintered and reemerged when the daytime temperature started to get above freezing. I found them while cleaning out a bed and left them in place to see what they'd do. I've never seen them survive the winter before!Hopefully they will start producing leaves large enough to eat in a few weeks.This picture was taken before the morning thaw, so they look extra glossy and a little translucent. #gardening #highDesertGardening

And, on an internet where we see more and more censorship of completely ordinary and legal things (have you tried looking for information about, say, periods, on Facebook recently?) an Evil Cloud Admin can maybe deny your computer the ability to work on things they don't want. Or scan the files on your rented storage to find out if you're doing naughty things, and give that to whatever agency they desire. A gross thought for a Monday morning, but I'm sure other and smarter folks than me are already thinking about it. I'd like to think about it in company. I do my best work when I can bounce ideas off other people, after all.
