Spurge, variety Blackbird. With a name sounding more like an illness than a fun plant to have in the garden, the flowers keep producing two out of the one before it. Dr. Suess was surely inspired by plants like this.

I recently watched a very interesting documentary about the perilous state of our planet, and things we can do to affect the course of necessary change. Narrated by Leonardo Dicaprio I highly recommend seeing this film, The 11th Hour

Spring Silhouettes
These photos were shot the other day when the weather was grey and the new leaves of the Oak on our front lawn blew in the 30 mph wind gusts. It’s astonishing that the tender young leaves were still tough enough to hang on and not rip in that rough wind. With the sun just barely shining through the overcast clouds, the effect of their silhouettes is so surreal.

One Sweet World
Excerpt of One Sweet World by Songwriter Dave Matthews
Nine planets around the sun,
the only one with something there
Upon this watered one
so much we take for granted
If greens all turned to grey
would our hearts still bloody be?
…so let us sleep outside tonight;
lay down in our Mother’s arms
and here we will rest safely.

Our windy December garden still has a few frost-bitten Cosmos.
