Yes support the underdog.
Keep hopeful about all that presents as bad.
Don't let the Social Media Billionaires take away our hope of a better day.
Vote for good.
Support all people.
Be like the sunflower. Gira al sole.
Be strong. Shine.
Demand justice for all.

So time to do some publicity for two groups.
Garden cleanup starting with the big overgrown sections. But leaving some plants for winter for the bulbs and bees and other critters.
Planning for September activities in a small way.
Calling friends so visits can occur.
Needing to decide what can be thrown out from my garage. May do a Free Stuff sale. LOL
Easier than hauling it to a charity location.
And read and read and read. Behind in my reading.
It is still summer so must enjoy the summer.

I had noticed the bench on my walks up the hill and around the library. I thought it was just for someone's loved like I did for Adolph.
So yesterday I decided to park at the library P parking and sit on the bench.
It is a commemorative bench.
So on October 1, 2022 up the hill from my house on Addison Street at the corner of Major Mackenzie and Yonge/ Hopkins and Addison, more than 30,000 people of Persian descent walked up Yonge Street from Rutherford coming to the area around the Central Library to demonstrate and give speeches.
I could hear the chanting from my house. The neighbourhood was lined with cars on every street near the library.
Two hours or more then they were gone.
So sitting on the bench overlooking the area where the demonstration took place.
Facing East to Yonge Street and very far in the distance- Iran.
A peaceful spot for quiet reflection this Tuesday morning.

Miss going to Farmer's Markets with Adolph.
But I still find a small local one at Hillcrest Mall that gives me some good fresh Ontario and Canadian produce.
Cherries from BC. Tasted like the ones I would pick at my parents' home in West Kelowna. They had two cherry trees in their backyard.
Peaches from Ontario. Tomatoes and celery from a farm in Southern Ontario.
Shabatura Produce from Windham Centre Ontario.
Cheese from a company from Barrie at the Meat, sausage and cheese booth.
Rosemary/garlic cheddar cheese that was so tasty. Superior Cheese company from Barrie Ontario
I buy the smaller sizes. Shopping for one means to limit what I buy so there is no food wastage.
I made bruschetta with the fresh tomatoes.
So supporting Canadian farmers and workers while having a tasty Sunday at the same time.
Oh Canada.

Life is moving along.
Some big issues are being resolved.
I feel like a big dark cloud is being lifted off my head.
It feels good to feel good for a change.
