Israel is bombing Tehran. Worse and worse. 

Heroic gardening today. Dug at the new bed outside the fence, planted more of the apparently inexhaustible daffodils, the Dutch iris that came in a box I didn’t remember ordering, peonies (I must stop buying peonies); transplanted Linda’s elephant ears to a place where it will have more room. Uncovered and saved spearmint, white native hibiscus, and ironweed from the overgrowth. Staggering with exhaustion at the end of the afternoon.
