I salute you for keeping a poinsettia going on the plains. Good karma, I think. I love Springsteen. I still feel like Born to Run was written specifically for T and me. And yes - I HATED when he married "that model." I was ready to write him off at that point. He did alright the second time around, tho.

But....ah...gardenias. Just the thought of that jungle smell of them makes me feel all swoony. I am a prairie girl and plant sturdy prairie plants but somehow, I have poinsettias that come back year after year and this stuns me. I was MAD about the music, too. I chose Springsteen and I swear they chose all of his worst ones. I was wanting to hear about the screen door slamming and Mary's dress waving and I was getting the schmaltzy stuff he put out when he was married to that model. I hope you are okay?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-15223369338161621292015-08-16T13:29:13.963-04:002015-08-16T13:29:13.963-04:00We've only been down here a little over a year...We've only been down here a little over a year, coming from the Fingerlakes Region of New York State. I think I might be better able to understand your growing cycle better than Florida's.

We have planted 2, and now that I know I cannot grow lots of flowers I will plant more. They are colorful, bold, and reliable. I enjoyed your recent reference to Lacan. Your writing often presents ideas and imagery that makes me think. I appreciate that.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-83030519010617200392015-08-12T09:51:49.530-04:002015-08-12T09:51:49.530-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Colettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929646037752189809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-69771251390813292302015-08-12T04:39:01.679-04:002015-08-12T04:39:01.679-04:00How this reminds me of the time when we moved from...How this reminds me of the time when we moved from Ireland to a very tropical African island just south fo the equator. We thought we were in gardener's heaven: surrounded by jacaranda and frangipani, mango and breadfruit trees, banana growing like weeds, we started a promising vegetable garden. It literally exploded until the bugs ate it all up in one go. We actually watched them in helpless disgust. That and the daily rain showers (you get that slightly rotten, damp smell?). But we were young and we tried it again and again, checking with extremely successful local gardeners but in the end, we gave up, there was a lot of fruit from the trees anyway. And hibiscus everywhere. It was just paradise, who needs tomatoes.<br /><br />Congrats on the MRI without panic attack. Hope the results are ok.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.com
