Musings

Concepts matter

There are leaves and leaflets. Do not confuse if you have botanical leanings.

Timing

Late Easter lily.

I write this as JCB texts with a friend who’s in Taiwan, and they’re trying to figure out what day it is. 🤣🤣🤣

Light upgrade

This afternoon a beam-let danced on a small area on the tablecloth, and made it seem like hoity-toity old-timey brocade. Sorta.

Burger art

Looks better than real, with those highlights and that reflection. [Are there eels in that water? At one time, in southern Britain, you paid your rent in eels…. Details here.]

Details, details

Most of the bulbs are finished blooming. Today I found several flourishing patches of alyssum. Mmmm.

Ah, however, the deep knowledge of the internet says this is commonly called sweet alyssum, if I have it right, but the taxonomists now put it in a related genus these days (Lobularia), so it, taxonomically, has a foot (root?) in two camps.

Pi 2017

We didn’t have pie today, but we did in 2017. They were a mix of sweet and meat.

Curlers

I attended an 80th b-day party this evening, the second of the day for the honoree. This was the best card…I wish I remembered the details (typical of me not to)…the punch line inside was something about no matter the age, we keep the sass.

DARKWTII?

I don’t…know the time, that is. I can easily read a clock, but my body is confused. We do this twice a year…why?

Title acronym refers to “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” Chicago, 1969.

Anthropological failure?

I looked for a name for this, thinking it might be a labelled artwork. Apparently not. I might title it “broken circles.” On the other hand, it may well be a common form from a context I’m unfamiliar with.

Layers and levels

Looking through a window, there’s beyond the window and possibly a reflection in the glass. I was tempted to use “palimpsest,” but that’s not really the appropriate word. Here’s the warm light inside this morning, while the fog veiled the outdoors.
