winter may have arrived in cleveland this weekend. it was a long time coming. it did snow briefly in november. that did not prevent the johnny jump up from blooming. not even after the snow. the daylily was from a bit earlier before the snow. near the end of august…
is it really safe to go from one late night movie to another. from venom to space balls ? there might just be a great artistic and philosophical chasm between the two. one flower will work for tonight. a seedling Bark At Me x unknown. at least we are used to dealing with the chasm separating the unknown…
today was a wet day. rain. no digging. a good day for going through pictures from this summer. a good day to see the some of the ones i missed. or the ones i took and forgot. a good day to go to our local blood charity and donate platelets. a good day to help patients who need platelets. people i will never see. people with the hope to go home to see their loved ones. today is a good day.

tonight was a great night for a little weeding in the garden. finish clearing the weeds from the one year seedling bed. and clear the worst of the weeds from last year’s new observation bed. the weather was a bit on the crisp side with a touch of a breeze. and the sky was clear and blue. it was also a great night to drift off on the couch after finding a flower. now just a bit more text and to really call it a night. I think the next several nights will be flowers from my friend Dave’s garden. this is one of his seedlings. two images…
