BLUE STATE UPDATE: Gov Maura Healey Has a Fit of Mass Confusion.

THE JUDICIARY’S SELF-MARGINALIZATION CONTINUES: Luigi Mangione won’t face the death penalty: A federal judge appointed by Joe Biden has decided stalking isn’t a “crime of violence.” The ruling saves Mangione, who allegedly killed an insurance executive in 2024, from a possible death sentence.

FROM CEDAR SANDERSON:  Tomato Wyrm.

Cecilia Duringhurst never expected to inherit anything, much less her estranged great-uncle’s country manor. It’s in a bit of a sorry state, coated with dog hair and staffed only by Jock, the old gamekeeper… but it comes with a greenhouse, large gardens, and the hopes of escaping city life.

Determined to save Hendre Court from ruin, she finds an unexpected ally in Greig MacDougall, Jock’s grandson and her new gardener. Together, they are swapping city life for muddy boots, endless weeding, and the fragile hope of turning heirloom tomatoes and cut flowers into a sustainable future.

As they dig in side by side, unearthing old secrets and new possibilities, Cecilia senses the estate holds more than soil and stone—something ancient and watchful that is tied to the Duringhurst line, and rooted to this hill.

Secrets and seedlings will burst forth in the spring… and just possibly, despite the frosts of misunderstandings and chill winds of finances, a relationship that will entwine all of them and blossom.
