A Rose Garden in Raleigh
Rise up, ye roses,
Raise your petals,
your thorns and your beauty.
Arose, they did, in august,
on this afternoon in June.

Kousa Dogwood: Lushy When Left Alone
Yesterday I trimmed the Kousa Dogwood. Why?? (This is not a photo of my Kousa. My Kousa is now very trimmed. They look much more luscious untrimmed.)
So the question remains: "Why did I trim my Kousa?"

Just Trying to be Zen-ly
I am trying to abide by the rule that if one picks up something to put it away, one might as well put it away in one step, rather than place it down mid-way and take another step to put it away later.
Two steps times a crazillion take up a lot of time. One could be reading a book.

POUND RIDGE PAST-- What a cool Father's Day Gift
POUND
RIDGE PAST: Remembrances of Our Townsfolk—written by Bonni Brodnick, with graphic design by Gina Federico and
photographs by Fran Collin—reveals what life was like from the rural 1920s to
the swinging 1970s in this beautiful town that is often referred to as "God's Country." The
book includes first-hand accounts about attending one-room schoolhouses, the
day World War II ended, a party at which Albert Einstein was a surprise guest,
and tales about farmers, basket makers, artists, teachers, merchants,
socialites and local glitterati.
Actors
and producers, including Tallulah Bankhead, Frank Morgan (the “Wizard
of Oz” himself), Buster Crabbe, Shirley Jones, Eli Wallach, Ann Jackson, Zoe
Caldwell and Robert Whitehead; writers
Westbrook Pegler and George Bria; radio sports legend Howard Cosell; “Tom and
Jerry” cartoonist Jack Zander; and violinist Florian ZaBach were just a few of
the celebrities dazzling the calm of the countryside.
The
book—now in its second printing—was a collaboration of Pound
Ridgers Bonni Brodnick (author, writer, HUFFINGTON POST blogger); Gina Federico
(graphic designer, blogger on Modern houses, Modern architects and Modern design)
and Fran Collin (food, celebrity and portrait photographer.)

Great Father's Day gift!
