Back in the Garden..TRYING to Make Sense of IT All....























IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION*




A few days ago I was doing my spring cleaning of the front porch/art studio/outdoor kitchen area.  I leaned my old (Mom's) JFK head and prop.... that I had used as a Christmas card 8 years ago up against the line to get it 
out of the way .
 Back then a few of the local haters thought it was a Black man....and later I told them it was JFK.  My Dad said he liked it, so I have kept in on the front porch, for one art project or another.
So the other day when I was cleaning, I propped it up to get it out of the way. 
 Looking back at it later, while trying to get my flower jungle "under control" I looked back and thought to myself....or said it out
loud as I do....
"Oh it must be a scarecrow for the Covid-Corona Nurses"
...as I had heard about on Facebook and PBS.

A few hours later, I heard the heinous news about the brutal taking of
 yet another 
Black Life,
 one
  GEORGE FLOYD.
If you are paying attention and watching the news, you should know in your heart and soul, that this should not even be still happening in our lifetimes, let alone the many, many countless seeen and unseen times,
over these past several years. 

*ALL of these haters want us to believe that they are running the show, and that they are in the majority...and they simply are not. 
 And the circular current that is this eddy...repeats again from a bumpersticker on the dashboard of my old vw...A.K.A.  Longwillow's VW....
IF YOU ARE NOT OUTRAGED! YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!
and in the words of the one these haters all claim to follow...
"Dear God Forgive Them...For they know not what they do"
Except they do know....and it needs to stop,
NOW.
