One gardener's observations, discoveries and random thoughts whilst simultaneously worshipping and dallying in a Cape Cod garden.
"A garden," said Ralph Waldo Emerson, "is like those pernicious machineries which catch a man's coatskirt or his hand, and draw in his arm, his leg and his whole body to irresistable destruction."
I see the musical selections have adjusted again. Hearing the Moonlight Sonata just reminds me of comparing notes about "Cliffhangers" with you, and trying to tape WPAT's occassional airplay of this music...
Hey Rhet! Yep, I left my playlist going the other day while I was painting in the bedroom - there's a whole afternoon's worth of music - and I realized I was depriving you all of the variety by having a set play order...so the random-ocity has returned!
Fun memories of our early musical discoveries...a few songs from that time are on the list, as I know we've discussed before!
These are some of your BEST EVER photos. They are incredible with drops on them and the colors are amazing. They truly are remarkable.
Was just thinking of you and stop by to say hi. I've been running way behind due to work but hope I get time to post in the next few days. Know that I'm sending you good thoughts and wishes, my friend. Hope you are hanging in....actually I hope you are doing better than hanging in!!! Hugs, Robin
Cool shots! Rose...something...impatiens...dahlia... This is probably pretty remedial, but what's the blue something in bloom? It isn't something I've grown.
I don't actually know what those blue flowers are. I was wandering about a friend's yard during a rainy cook-out...and they were clueless when I asked after the plant.
Veeeery pur-dee Greg! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe need to soak up all the colors we can before the grey days come.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the morning smile!
And on the gray days, too, Steven!

Oh, they're marvelous all rained-upon in those shots. Hope smiles through stormy weather. :)
ReplyDelete"Rainbow Connection" by Kermit the Frog. How fitting for a rainy day post and this blog.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Flowers always seem to photograph well when wet.

Beautiful colors! And the rain drops add that "finishing" touch. :-)

HIya there. You have very lovely photos. Oh I so love flowers!
ReplyDeleteOh, darn it, James...I knew someone would ask.

Pretty though, huh?
