The Flowers

All the names I know from nurse:
Gardener’s garters, Shepherd’s purse,
Bachelor’s buttons, Lady’s smock,
And the Lady Hollyhock.

Fairy places, fairy things,
Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,
Tiny trees for tiny dames–
These must all be fairy names!

Tiny woods below whose boughs
Shady fairies weave a house;
Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme,
Where the braver fairies climb!

Fair are grown-up people’s trees,
But the fairest woods are these;
Where, if I were not so tall,
I should live for good and all.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Finished this at 11 :50 pm. Downton night. There are just a few copper dots, (they look
brown) both in the border and the bloom. They add just a hint of shine. I might add more of the copper.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
Khalil Gibran

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked,
while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

I have been thinking about the trees. So many here were broken by the weight of our rare snow storm. The trimmers are happy I am sure – business is good! On one street alone, I counted 17 trees that had been broken in half, or just toppled completely. The Italian Cypress are all bending this way and that. But they are still standing.

There are still a lot of us “standing” in this challenge.
High five to everyone who keeps keeping on!
