Think Positive or Don't Think At All

The Valerian smells incredible standing atop its six foot stems, catching the morning light with the shaded evergreens in the background. I used a portrait lens because it was already on the camera. Valerian will handily send most people to sleep, but a few will react in the opposite. I have not harvested the root over the past seven years and should give it a try before time runs out. It would be nice to see how effective it is. 
After today at 4 pm, it may not matter. In a well choreographed video some guy says the west coast over here will pretty much topple due to planetary alignment. That'll be midnight in London,  in case the whole place shakes a bit more, or worse yet, if the geographical estimate is off.

I intend to pick strawberries from our patch, the extra blip, tomorrow morning regardless. Right now I am sipping some Oatgrass and Scullcap tea to keep the nerves settled. And I always have plenty of Kava available. I am an herbalist at heart. The downside is, I cross multiple bridges on the way to work. Bummer, I did not request a sick day.
If the bridges go that's quite the distance between me and my honey.
