Ah, damn! Who made it October already? Frost cannot be far away. It would be a miracle to get another 4 weeks in before it hits. Hopefully we will get at least 2 more weeks of temperatures above 32. Soon all my beautiful tropicals will be gone from the landscape and all that will be left is that hardy crap. Oh, I know. Like Frosty the Snowman they will be back some day. But in the meantime there is the bleak period filled with cold rain, blowing snow, and worst of all, never-ending gray skies. What the ancient ones called the Midwest Winter.
To be honest I am at a bit of a loss for ideas for this week’s blog. Well, not at a loss for ideas really, but at a loss for ideas that the muse can turn into a blog. The muse is being a rhymes-with-witch this week. Some weeks I can pound one of these out in a couple hours. Other weeks are like this one, three days off and on and I’m still not there. And the blog is hardly something I can afford to spend too many hours on. So it finally came to me to describe in a bit of detail this summer’s design for the circle bed in front of the Museum. I can’t let you into my head for the entire thought process however. It is a far too dangerous place. There are things in there that even I’m afraid of.
