Kate and I completely weeded the second perennial tier this morning, but it took both of us to finish it.<\/p>\n
Grass. \u00a0More grass. \u00a0When the gods created grass, they forgot all about gardeners of the future. \u00a0Grass grows everywhere, many different kinds and needs little nurture. \u00a0In many ways it is the perfect weed. \u00a0Tall, it can grow up and out from within clumps of wanted plants. \u00a0Tough, it sticks to the soil with tenacity. \u00a0Wily, its rhizomes too often remain behind when what looks the whole plant comes out. \u00a0Then, in its persistent way, it regenerates and lives to annoy the gardener another day. \u00a0So, here’s to grass, a plant wonderful in its manifold powers.<\/p>\n
Dragonflies have hatched in abundance. \u00a0Which means the mosquitoes have, too. \u00a0The dragonfly, with its bi-wing form, has a retro sort of look. \u00a0They are beautiful. \u00a0Iridescent colors, transparent wings. \u00a0Fairy like in their quickness. \u00a0Benevolent in their choice of food. \u00a0Seeing their forms darting through the air brings the great wheel round another turn.<\/p>\n
