the fourth season

Having shared with you the glories of Spring, Summer and Fall in the Pacific Spirit Park over the past year, today it is Winter’s turn.

20 new leaves, an executive order and two heroes

His strong words today, including “ work to undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration,” are very welcome.
Today we also remember two heroes, Captain Sir Tom Moore and Capital Police Office Brian Sicknick, may they both rest in peace.
