Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Two wet days

I'm posting some art from the Black Mountain Center for the Arts over at my blog Alchemy of Clay.

 

You can see where much of the colorful leaves have ended up. Two days of rain last weekend, so I did very little outside.


The plants on the balcony have been growing bigger all summer. Now I need to think where they'll live during the winter.






I wish I hadn't divided the violets, because these are all I really want to care for, rather than the other 4 children of theirs!

Today's quote:

"Whenever I touch a flower, I touch the sun and yet I don't get burned. When I touch the flower, I touch a cloud without flying to the sky. When I touch the flower, I touch my consciousness, your consciousness, and the great planet Earth at the same time.

The miracle is possible because of insight into the nature of interbeing. If you really touch one flower deeply, you touch the whole cosmos. The cosmos is neither one nor many. When you touch one, you touch many, and when you touch many, you touch one.."

    WOW! Your balcony plants sure took off. They look gorgeous.
    Perhaps you can redo me the extra violets? May be easier than kittens!
    Have a good week end.

    You have had more leaf fall than I had anticipated at your latitude. That one tree doesn't look much different than ours.

    Nice photos! Our plants which are indoors all need to be replanted in to bigger pots next Spring.
