This week brings me two revisits of recent topics: dressing-room hooks, and flowers planted by someone else that I can enjoy.

You knew it had to be this song, right?
And remember this one?
Quote of the Week
To find yourself in the infinite,
You must distinguish and then combine;
Therefore my winged song thanks
The man who distinguished cloud from cloud.
- Johann Wolfgang von GoetheBy the beginning of the 19th century, Goethe was Europe’s most celebrated intellectual icon and Luke Howard — the man who “distinguished cloud from cloud,” a young amateur meteorologist who pioneered a classification system for humanity’s favorite atmospheric phenomena — was the only Englishman whom Goethe ever addressed as “Master.”Read more about Luke Howard here: The Invention of Clouds: How an Amateur Meteorologist Forged the Language of the Skies, by Richard HamblynSource: Daily Good

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.
