IN THE GARDEN OF DECADENT DECAY . . .
I picked up some things in the yard that might blow away or get destroyed before hurricane Idalia came through here. I took all my hanging orchids down (many were in bloom) and lined them up on a section of the south side fence. Today I was putting things back in place and noticed one of the orchids had broken off and blown against the fence. It was stuck tight and had already started its descent into a beautiful display of decadent decay. I like things when they are young and fresh, but there is just something so much more appealing to my eye when things are breaking down and on their way out.
