I love wearing linen. I was tickled to find out that several of my Belgian ancestors worked in the linen trade, selling it, transporting it, etc... Someone several years ago told me to stretch linen garments on the bias as they are hanging to dry to help with wrinkles. I walk by a few times and give it a good stretch in all directions. I never iron linen and rarely dry it in the drier.
*Yes, hemp hearts are the seeds of Cannabis sativa, but they contain so little THC that you can’t get high from them.
This small amount of cannabis sativa acts as an adaptogen and will provide what you need, not unlike small amounts of caffeine or chamomile that may exist in trace amounts in your diet, e.g. in my HU Hazelnut Coffee Chocolate or a soothing tea blend that has a touch of chamomile.
.....and besides, I've given up alcohol for cannabis and am ever so much happier and healthier as a result.
I wonder if Ward Nelson was the choir director at the time you sang Stainer's Crucifixion at St. Bartholomew's. God So Loved the World is still sung everywhere!
I was fussing about the wrinkles in my well ironed linen slacks and my friend Judith said “Relax, how else will people know you are wearing expensive natural fibers?” so after that I stopped worrying about wrinkles in my clothes. Lovely pics as usual. The blossoming tree touches my heart too.
Haven't thought of the "L'il Abner" movie in years. Loved it as a kid. Wonder how I'd feel today. A small Broadway note as an aside. My mother., Pearl Trachtenberg, who you knew, once worked for a well-known Broadway lighting director.
Thank the marvelous Dorothy Dunnett for teaching me that word. It was in Pawn in Frankincense, the fourth book of the Lymond Chronicles. If you like historical fiction even a bit—and it’s not really my thing—you should give Lady Dunnett a try. She is probably my favorite author.
Before you throw the baby out with the bath water, there are over a hundred cannabinoids that, if correctly harnassed and packaged, can cure a boatload of ills. Most companies and most packaging follow the current world's practices and have additives and processing that weaken, mask, or reverse the benefits. If you ever decide to try it again, I recommend either Relief for pain or Ease for brain fog and gut health from https://www.trustedcannanurse.com/product/ease/. Neither will get you high. Good luck and let's keep reading one another. All Best,

I'm a big fan of HU chocolate, but cannabis doesn't work for me.

I had forgotten about "God So Loved the World." Thank you for the memory.
Yes, indeed he was.

I enjoy your writing and resonate with your stories about the Tulares and the musicals. We are of a similar ilk, perhaps. Here was my musical story this week: https://open.substack.com/pub/storiesbyjanus/p/and-sometimes-the-imposter-syndrome?r=28rbmj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
That was quite a story! Thanks for pointing me to it.
I, too, am a 76-year-old Episcopalian. I’m a Capricorn, you’re an Aries like my dear husband.

Oops. Thanks.
Lovely photos accompanying these wide-ranging, and solemn, musings. Great read. Corybantic…. I learned a new word.
