When the sun rises the light doesn't look pink, but everything it touched when it slants low and long like that in the morning turns a golden peach. In the last twenty-four hours the maples have really started leafing out instead of just blooming outside our window. Leaves are darker than blooms, more green and less lime, and the network of branches will soon be obscured and then the sky itself. We haven't lived here long enough for me to know what that will look like.
I am going to fry some bananas and try going back to bed-- seems like the thing to do at 6:30 am on a Sunday, no? I should be playing Johnny Cash. Instead it's Devendra again.
Awhile ago I set out a couple of goals for my life, and I realised the other day I never follow up on those things in writing. Well, this has become a much more honest and open space for me, that's for sure. I've also allowed those walls I developed for awhile there to stay (for the most part) broken open like Angus left them, and so people can get in again-- but not as wholesale free-for-all as before.
I need to get a spathyphyllum or two for the new place. I bet a ming aralia would live there too! That's super-exciting.
For the deck I'm thinking perennial-wise:
Asparagus
Artichoke
Queen Anne or Rainier cherry
Sour cherry
black cherry
Greengage plum
Persimmon - fuyu or jiro, hachiya or tanenashi, rosseyanka
kiwi Anna (arguta) or Blake or Emlwood or maybe Ken's Red
Apricots x2
Fig(s?)
(Pawpaw?)
Peach?
Plum x2 additionally- maybe a japanese and a tiny yellow?
Quince
Amelanchier
