Tuesday: A day to: welcome a new garden plant!

As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we

can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!

IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

Overcast here in the SF Bay Area, with a chance of rain showers later tonight. And I’m totally fine with that.

Meanwhile, on a visit to one of my favorite places in San Francisco, SF Botanical Garden (in Golden Gate Park)—I perused one of my very favorite little garden shops, at the entrance to the Garden. I always find something unusual there, at least, unusual for me.

The Redwood trail in the Botanical Garden.

This time I spotted and bought a reddish fern: Pteris “Flame.” When I went to pay for it the staff volunteer was so surprised to see it that I thought, briefly, she was going to reclaim it for herself. (Of course, she didn’t!)
