I look outside and it seems so dark today, it’s raining

But I walked by this living thing and it is in bloom

Still.

I think it’s been in bloom at least since Jan 20, if not before

Through the heat and the wind, never failing

Now the rain honors it

I’m standing in the rain

Free bulbs!

Hey Bluesky people, years ago I bought these cool South African bulbs from Telos Rare Bulbs (a great nursery) and they’ve done so well I have too many-I want to give them to anyone who’d like to have some. DM me a US mailing address and I’ll send you some!

I thought the fourth was over but I walked into my yard this morning and saw these fireworks

So I was picking up Dr. Seuss for yesterday’s #NoKings event, and before we left he offered me this garlic blossom.

Fried eggs anyone? This plant can be invasive when things line up for it-plant it where you can let it take over!

Started these from seed five years ago. Only occasionally seen on hikes in the Santa Monicas but they make a statement in a group. I see hot air balloons, what do you see?

I pre-ordered this back in February—stoked to have it in hand today. Fuel for the walk ahead. Thanks Kareem!

PS: any of you known to me who want a copy, I’ll get you one-message me.

Scilla Hughii, in a pot for several years before finally succeeding and blooming. Hard to find positives lately but here’s one.

Vital reporting for those of us working in the arts, to be aware of what our compatriots have lost. Thank you Kate
Many musicians who lost homes in LA's fires also lost instruments, marked-up scores and community. As one told me: “To me, the difference between us and a carpenter is ... I feel like our tools contain magic. They’re like talismans.” For @theguardian.com:

Los Angeles musicians lost homes, studios and instruments: ‘A part of you is gone’
From the piano used for The Wizard of Oz to backyard studios, losses have performers and composers concerned for the future

On a positive note.
Don’t buy a dog for Christmas.
Go to your local shelter and foster or adopt a dog of any age.
