Friday, July 24, 2015. 8220;This is a fierce bad rabbit; look at his savage whiskers, and his claws and his turned-up tail.” ― Beatrix Potter. I saw Zebrina blooming in a friend's garden and added it to my wish list. Felt so lucky when I found one at a box store recently.

Friday, May 15, 2015. We have had some nice rains and cooler temps lately. Always happy to see that combination. I'm inspired to transplant lots of things in this perfect weather.

Here is the great mystery of life and growth. Everything is changing, growing, aiming at something, but silently, unboastfully, taking its time. Ruth Stout. From the shade Garden.

Lilacs and Roses: “The rain to the wind said, You push and I'll pelt.' They so smote the garden bed That the flowers actually knelt, And lay lodged--though not dead. I know how the flowers felt.” ― Robert Frost

Some will dive like portly swans, rejoicing in their lightness; some will somersault like silly circus performers. When pigs fly. Jeni Bell. Who knew there were dozens of poems about flying pigs? It surprised and alarmed me. Wonder why so many of us are thinking about flying pigs. Way too much time on our hands. However pigs decide to fly,. As long as they are way up high.
