these beauties are just beginning to blossom.
we planted them in memory of a very special person.
i hope they will just let the winds of irene blow
right through their stalks and leaves.
yes, we evacuated to our "bit of earth".

Great idea! ;) It is very calm here indeed, heavy and still. I don't imagine Western MA will get hit as badly as CT but I've never experienced a hurricane here, so time will tell...
ReplyDeleteglad you did
ReplyDeletebeen thinking about you and Uma
your sunflowers are proud
and your land is a dreamscape
Glad you're high and dry. It's pouring here, with the winds very slowly picking up . . . and then it all stops quickly between bands. But we're as ready as we can be. May your sunflowers stay strong and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteoh reed... they're extraordinary!
ReplyDeletethank you

weeping here in my kitchen
stay safe, my friend
The sunflowers are beautiful. I followed the link to Erin, the very special person, where I read the blog posted by Mary Potts. I cried and I cried deeply.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the blog, my frustration and a sense of failure at burning a pizza on the grill was quickly brought into perspective. Not only am I not fleeing and enduring a violent storm, but I am going to have a second chance at making a grill-fired pizza.
This evening, while preparing another pizza, I will remember the sunflowers and the living memory of Erin.
Thank you Mary, for being so generous with your feelings and sharing the living spirit of Erin.
keep safe and snug over there.
