I know … but look at the nice flowers! The herbs and the petunias seeded front last year and the gladiolus remind me of my Grandma who always grew them by the vegetable garden.

The library of Congress is so so so fundamental, founded in 1800, it’s the only library of its kind, it belongs to every American, it has every copyrighted book, it is non-partisan. It is for research, anyone can use it. It is our library and we cannot let them trash it.
