Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.
William Butler Yeats

We had a dozen bees feeding on Clematis cirrhosa in the back garden on Tuesday. A beautiful and useful plant.

Even if you don't see religion that way, it's still thought provoking. And funny.
Anyway, thank you, Paul Kinsella.
