Depression

 

I am so profoundly depressed. From the state of the world to my shitty grifting family. And add to that - my refuge - genealogy is being invaded by bullies, long story... I just want to enjoy the life God gave me. The only thing I can think of to stave it off is planning my next year's garden! LOL. I am planting a maple tree forest also. I have at least two maple species in my front yard - Silver and Norway. more on my maples later...

Last week, with the help of my neighbor Ben, we planted three mature "Ruby Fire" sugar maples.

Totopotomoy map 2026

 

Anthony Langston. The Draft of York River in Virginia. ca. 1662. Manuscript map. Maps and Plans General 371. British Public Record Office, Kew, England.

I'm making a map so you can visualize Totopotomoy's "seat." This is a preview. I have to drop everything I am working on at the computer and do winter prep before it gets cold!
