Unrecognizeable now.

All haze; no snow. On March 29th.

It's a terrifying sight. It shouldn't look like this before July at the earliest, and even then, the haze would be there only if there's a nearby wildfire.

Which, of course, there are — several of them in the broader region. Our topsoil is destroyed; the soil here is like talc now. The winds are kicking up again, and if the weather changes this week as the forecast says it will? Those pear blossoms will be dead, and so will any chance of pears this fall. The same will hold for a lot of leaves and other plant life.

Everything here is unrecognizeable now.

The wind and pollen aren't helping with everything else, either. I've been working flat out all weekend and it will be the same into the workweek, and I'll be doing it in the middle of this god-awful flare, which means that I'll have no time [or energy, or functionality] for anything else until all this is off my desk. Period. I'm sorry, but that includes anyone wanting mutual-aid help who's not willing to post it publicly. I'm no good to anyone if I'm hospitalized or worse, and that's where this is heading if I don't halt it now. Because the last five, six months have been this way, nonstop, and I'm still not caught up on housework, taxes, OR sales. Which is not good, because we still have to bring in sales weekly to break even. To that end, links are here:

  • Sales here
  • Testimonials here
  • Amazon wishlist here [and to whomever sent a bunch of stuff off it that arrived today, THANK YOU; there were no purchaser inserts with the items, zip, zero, nada];
  • Patreon here;
  • Ko-fi here.
And we do still need to make those regular weekly sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need to get this year onto a better footing than the last two, and so far, it's been pretty grim.
