 My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| I am fascinated by the flowers planted around our downtown area. It's about the only thing down there I like. The area is full of vagrants, beggars, and is dirty and noisy. But the flowers are outstanding. They use such striking colors and varieties. I have dwarf marigolds at home, but they are not the same variety as these big beds of yellow and orange short flowers. And they appear to be plants, where I grow from seeds. They are contrasted with a tall black looking leafy plant and purple spires. And more dwarf white daisies. I would love to see them put out the information for the public to identify the plants, even to take a tour and look at them. On the former Main Street, which is now a bricked in outdoor mall, there are huge round pots with gigantic plants surrounded by coleus. Again, they use some blackish or dark purple plants, which are very healthy looking. We no longer have a local newspaper, so there is a problem of where to print the info if one of the horticulturists was willing to share. It is a well-educated area with lots of writers, so there should be some affordable newspaper with such local tidbits. Meanwhile, I snitched a bloom while no one was looking. I recycle the seeds. Maybe if this variety works, I can plant some more marigolds in my yard. The Good Lord willing. |

I marvel at the things I'll be able to tell my grandkids about someday. Life is accelerating - or maybe it just feels that way!
I completely sympathize with your desire to declutter. I have more stuff than you can shake a stick at that didn't actually belong to just my wife or myself throughout the house.
