California’s proposed wealth tax would be 5% over 5 years. If this applied to only the wealthiest 8 billionaires, that would be $12 billion in year 1. With a 30 year average increase in the stock market, their wealth tax would be replenished in less than a year. Tell me why we should not be doing this nationally? The wealthy have benefited from a mass distribution of wealth to the top 1% since Reagonomics in the ‘80s. It’s time to have the ultra wealthy pay a fraction of their fair share.

This image appeared on a photo memory today & one of my fall brides asked about dahlia cake flowers… coincidence? I think not!

When your nephew is going to prom, of course Auntie Anne will make the florals with flowers from the gardens: grape hyacinths, lilies of the valley, forget-me-nots, mint, hellebores, rose campion leaves and rex begonia. It was a bit challenging with one arm not very mobile, but it worked out in the end.

To all the wonderful mothers out there including god-mothers, aunties, pet and plant moms, thank you for nurturing our world. You are amazing!

This is the first Mother’s Day since 2017 where I’ve not been up at 2am frantically finishing orders. The accident that sidelined me gave me the opportunity to celebrate Mother’s Day with my mom & sisters (who are both amazing mothers). Time to find a funny reel to share with my mom friends this morning. And time to spend with my plant babies later today. I am grateful for silver linings. -Anne

Turns out I could not do that much with one arm and had to revise the number of tasks and call in helpers - Thank you and Kev. I still did too much and am wiped out today, but today & tomorrow are a little too wet to do much. 🤕

In conjunction with International Worker’s Day, celebrate May Day by protesting rising prices and the financial struggles for the majority of Americans, against the Trump regime spending billions of dollars and American lives on a purposeless war. Celebrate by lifting up regular people’s voices to reject authoritarian abuse of power, corruption and violence in our communities.

Send a message by purchasing nothing tomorrow - one day of highlighting the powerful voice of collective consumers.

Boston.com has details about other protest locations and events.

I’m more than 2 weeks out from the accident and trying to take things day by day, but it’s hard. Hard to try to get things done that are required and also take time to heal. It’s frustrating and infuriating, but when I see a handful of spring beauties, it stills my heart and mind and I know there will be better days.
