If for no other cause, yet for this: that posterity would know we have not, through silence, allowed things to pass away, as in a dream. // Richard Hooker

Quarantine Flora Poem (as promised, @scottxadams) The internet tells me the creation of a pearl is a mollusk’s “defense mechanism” — a way to confront a threat. My defense mechanism these days is going for daily walks in my postage-stamp-sized garden, which is also giving me the unexpected gift of seeing the day-by-day shifts of spring. Like this: held in the petals of my smoke tree, yesterday’s rain becomes this perfect little pearl.

Manhattans and #quarantineflowerdrawings.

Any one of these camellias would be the most beautiful flower in the garden, and yet this bush blooms with such profligate generosity that the whole yard is littered with petals, giving no effs about economy, like confetti announcing the beginning of spring. Better get used to this insta-people because I’ve only left my property 3 times in 9 days — 2 walks, 1 Home Depot mulch run — and there’s only so much to see. #socialdistancing

First official day of FREAKING SPRING. Planted this plum tree on the day we bought this house — almost one year ago. Same tree we had in front of my childhood home. Never been happier.
