Monday, May 23, 2011. We expect it in the NW, even quite a bit of it, but 2011 has to be record of sorts. I doubt that we have had more than 10 days without rain. since the year began. Le Sommail on the Canal du Midi. Fortunately, tomorrow I am flying off to sunny (unseasonably so) Belgium and the south of France where I plan to sit in the sun alongside the canal while sipping something cool and alcoholic, and then close my eyes and breathe in the warm air. I am very lucky and I know it! Bite the bed bugs.

Monday, April 19, 2010. Not quite Holland, but close. I took these pictures. On a visit to Woodburn just outside Portland. My garden is far less impressive but the flowers. Are lovely all the same.

Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Of Gardening Against the Odds. Has died. What a terribly sad loss to her family and to all of us who loved her work. She who created so much beauty around her still could not avoid the dark side of life. Yet her posts were invariably a source of joy and brought many smiles to my face as did her pictures. Wherever you may be, Elspeth, I hope you found respite. To Cut or Not to Cut? Saturday, March 27, 2010. Early spring is with us! The gardeners are out planting, weeding, dividing...

HOME AND NOT: Reading Madame de Beauvoir
http://homeandnot.blogspot.com/2011/04/reading-madame-de-beauvoir.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Reading Madame de Beauvoir. Recently the author of a French blog mentioned Simone de Beauvoir’s voluminous “essai” on aging, La Vieillesse. It was translated into English as. The Coming of Age. By an author who in the past provided me with many pleasant hours of escapist reading, Patrick O’Brian. Is the used bookseller touched? It makes no mention of some rare quality, the book wasn’t signed by Simone de B, and is "probably not" a first edition. So why the astronomical price tag?

HOME AND NOT: Winter Gardens
http://homeandnot.blogspot.com/2011/04/winter-gardens.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. It rained 29 consecutive days in March, so at the first sight of sun in April I took myself to the Oregon Gardens. For a lovely afternoon in nature. First, I saw this fearless green heron sitting over a red algae covered pond with his neck low between his shoulders. I noticed several yellow flowers, like skunk cabbage ( I didn't check on its scent). And many daffodils,. Also masses of these brilliant flowers on a bush whose name I forgot to look up. And enjoying the far away horizon.
