Musings

The other day I recommended to the Guru that he read an article in the New Yorker, and I told him the title. A bit later he asked if I was sure it was in the New Yorker, as he couldn’t find it. Surprising…he’s a guy who knows how to find stuff on the web.

After the dust settled, I found the article by searching the author, and it turned out the title was totally different on the web. Howizzat?

Our neighbor grew up outside of Lexington and has a party every year guess when. I love the juleps and fresh mint the best. All I can tell about the horse race this year is that it was a photo-finish…if they haven’t replaced that technology and thus the phrase.

Our hostess is quite the gardener, and my plant ID app thinks this is a bellflower. It don’t know what it is, but I’m pretty sure it is not a bellflower.

I went out early in the moist sunshine to see the morning humidity. I found it in the air…

…and on the vegetation.

Late morning, we went to the Swedish store of exports from Ukraine and Poland…and got the…point.

Back home, a peony was new-opened.

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

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. 🤣🤣🤣

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

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.]

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.

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

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.
