This week brings me two revisits of recent topics: dressing-room hooks, and flowers planted by someone else that I can enjoy.
The same store chain; a different set of hooks.

Let Ithaka be always in your thoughts.To get there is your goal and destiny.But do not hasten to your journey’s end:it’s better if it lasts for many yearsso that you'll reach the island when you’re old,wealthy with all you’ve gained along the way,not hoping Ithaka will make you rich.Your marvellous journey is Ithaka’s gift.Without her you would not have started out.But she has nothing more to give you now.And if you find she's poor, you’ve not been fooled.So wise have you become, so much you’ve learned,that you will know what Ithakas must be.Source: Seen in passing on X-Twitter.

oh yes!
(couldn’t find how to italicize the yes)
Thanks for looking for us.
Judith – Thanks for enjoying them. 🙂
Ah, bougainvillea…. These show all red, but I’ve seen them covering walls and terraces in other tropical locations, where they mixed red and yellow and orange and white… Always spectacular.
I must see if my nursery can find me one I can grow indoors…

Jim – 🙂 Yes, I saw hedges of many colours in Guatemala, also. Here, the city/county seems to plant just the red ones along the freeways, but a house around the corner from us has mingled red and purple. Lovely. Good luck with the nursery.
