Went to Dunaway Gardens today near Palmetto Georgia. Sort of a Chautauqua type place in the 20s/30s/40s. Walt and Roy Disney used to visit, and the grounds and productions probably inspired the backgrounds of their early cartoons--especially the dancing flowers and trees ones. Sarah Ophelia Colley lived there and was theatrical director for seven years. You probably know her better by the name of a character she created there in the 30s--Minnie Pearl.
When Mrs. Dunaway died in 1961, place fell into ruin and over grown until 2000 when new owner began restoration. My excitement was when I wandered to shade of tree to return a call, and abstractly watching bright green vine at my feet, that after a while flicked red tongue and began climbing the tree. Haha
When I had been driving out there on the still relatively undeveloped South Fulton Parkway--some type of bicycle race or rally going on--dozens of returning brightly clothed cyclists on the other highway split.
Thought it was going to rain but it dissipated. Supposed to storm tomorrow--maybe. Weather people use all their video graphics to to torment and tantalize what might happen. Bleh.
Haven't been to a movie in a while. Hellboy looks interesting--same director as Pans' Labyrinth.
Guts, from the Berserk manga.

Well the TV weather dronebots keep beating the drums for the drought parade, but we've had lovely rainstorms every day for sometime now. Today the cells are lined up across Alabama, and the line has been training or whatever they call it right over my house--haha. More about to follow.
The crape myrtle has bloomed nicely--sort of fuchia pink. Rose bush with orange blooms has been colorful; the red one too, and the purples sort of taking a breather. Still have rubekia/ Black Eyed Susan to put somewhere. Butterfly bush has recovered from the Japanese beetles though still some out late at night. Lots of big butterflies on it, and a huge ruby throated hummingbird too a little while ago.
Went to Cochran's Mill a few days ago. Reminds me of some of the places I used to hike at in Lafayette, Indiana.
Bought more shrubs for the back. Back area I want to wall off more with wall of shrubs. Eventually be the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party area in the far back--haha.
Gladiola bulbs actually coming up--but I was rather late with those--but whatever happens or not--happens.
If nothing else--headstart on next year. Some sunflowers struggling up despite some beetle damage. I don't know what the hell the hollyhocks are doing--I need to read up on those more. What's growing is more like vines, and tiny print of the seed packages makes it sound it wouldn't be until next year when they bloomed?
Oh--much of the front yard was covered in tiny mushrooms last night. Hundreds of them. Quite fanciful. Maybe the continuing rains will bring more.

"I love you like day old sushi!" Don't ask--I just thought it sounded good. *finishes his two day old sushi from Publix*
 Open. Inviting. Waiting. Needing to be filled. Aching.  The formerly luxuriant butterfly bush in front of the porch, before the Japanese beetles shredded it. Now I go out late at night with flashlight to pick beetles off it and the roses, and exact revenge between my fingers. I could use spray, but whole point of a butterfly bush--is to attract butterflies, so--mmmmm....  Close up of flower cone, or whatever it's called.  Roses out the front office window. What I now call the Rose Triangle--haha.  Different angle--at twilight.  Queen Anne's Lace--a little fuzzy looking.  Better shot.  Haha--the cell camera makes the driveway look like a road. Actually only about 25 feet.  Caladium's are the colored ones; the Elephant's Ears are green and will be much larger.  Hydrangeas by the driveway.
******************I guess it's good I already had been working on this. T Mobile did some little upgrade--and--two years of pictures are now gone from my online album. And neither is it currently accepting new pictures from my cell, so--stuck for the moment. I'm a little stressed. The online album was sort of intermediate shuffle between phone and my pc. And had been back up of pix of friends at different times. Woke up about 5:30 the other morning, stepped outside to look at stars, and coincidentally saw space station again--like bright star crossing the midheavens.  | | |

New pictures soon. I found a little more space on my cell camera, and now need to shuffle and edit on the online folder then move to pc where I can use them for blogs and the like. New white rose bush has small buds now. We used to have white rose bush from my paternal grandfather's house--must have been decades old. It lingered here for long time but was gone when I moved back. Hydrangeas have blue puffball flower globes. Recently planted sunflower and hollyhock seeds have sprouted, along with marigolds, morning glory, 4 o'clocks.
Some women called get Cat Ladies for collecting cats. I'm probably going to be called the Plant Guy or something by neighbors. My usual response in the yard is "I'm still planting--haha." I get complements, cars slow down, and walkers look while going by, so it's good.
One water plant bought it during heat spell awhile back, but others seem to be thriving enough. Not certain what going to do with them when cold weather comes in fall. Might have to get grow light and move in the garage. I have heard you can winter over water plants by wrapping in wet newspaper and keeping moist in refrigerator. Don't really have room among the dill cheese and ranch dressing for waterlilies, but not an immediate problem.
If anyone is interested--tonight is full moon. Tomorrow Mercury ends it's retrograde and goes forward--which if you're into astrology means things like communications,transportation, thinking and paperwork should clear up and move better too. Friday night is Summer Solstice. Hoo-ah! And Tuesday night is the old Midsummer's Eve on June 24--the traditional solstice/midsummer observance. Faeries are especially active this time of year, so be on the lookout. Hehe
Craft stores already stocking ahead--Garden Ridge has scarecrows and autumn leaves and flowers, Hobby Lobby was putting out Christmas ornaments. November and December have been problematic times for me all my life--I've decided I need to reinvent the period for myself, instead of feeling like I have to hold my breath to keep from drowning while being held deep, deep underwater from mid October to mid January, which is not a fun feeling. No certain what this will mean--maybe try to keep it all to simple things--maybe cook more or get headstart on spring 2009--not that I'm getting ahead myself here at all--haha.
A little odd--I don't know if nostalgic is the right word--seeing all the flooding pictures in Iowa. I lived in Iowa City in an earlier life cycle--and all the shots brought back memories--that area of campus by the river with all the arts buildings--I used to spend a lot of time there. Walked that route by the river many times. Used to party in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines too.
Pix soon--I promise!

The Southern Gentleman's (We Use That Term Lightly!) Occasional Journal of Gardening, Stargazing, Lemonade and Carnival Lights
6/13/08 Should write a book to go with that title--haha. Lets see--in the yard: Butterfly bush I bought last summer by left corner of front porch has doubled in size last few weeks. Long pale lavender cones and springy stems for the sparrows to bounce up and down on. A few butterflies. In the rose triangle outside my office window, the orange rose bush also has had explosive growth, with large puffy orange blossoms. The red knockout rose more to the ground, about to rebloom. And also the purple plum pudding rose. New white rose bush has buds but not rebloomed yet.
Sunflowers germinating in one new bed. Sunflowers and hollyhocks planed in another new one. What had been my mother's main flower bed I've raked but it needs to be violently weeded and soil added, then I'm going to dump all the seeds I gave up planting last year due to the drought.
Elephant ears and caladiums shooting out of ground on wall next to basement--mad excitement!
6/14/08 I don't see where the coolness is--still humid. Hear thunder but no rain. That flower bed by driveway hasn't been worked in years--and shows it. Mosquitoes healthy. Birdfeeders have cardinals, purple finches, goldfinches and sparrows. Neighbor says I have "bluebirds," but I haven't seen them. Butterflies now attending the butterfly bush.
Happy Flag Day!
Wil Adama
