On Monday, I made a quick trip to my local garden center to buy supplies so I could bury myself in garden-related activities all day on Tuesday, Election Day in the US. I voted weeks ago by mail (and tracked my ballot to ensure delivery to the County Registrar of Voters) and, knowing that the process of counting ballots across the country will be a protracted process this year, I expected it would be essential to my sanity to stay away from the moment-to-moment updates that are likely to plague our news feed for days. While at the garden center, an employee pointed out two new residents in the on-site pond.

At times like this I wish I had a shell I could pull myself into and hide if needed. A safe place to rest with a trusted companion doesn't hurt either.
