Merle, You wrote: "what made you ever think i was an admirer of yoko.. she was john's partner let's leave at that!" I accept! Wishing you a good day, there. I thought of you yesterday while cultivating the winter garden here with the new cultivating tool. Temperatures are rising, Sun is further North each day, and Equinox in just two weeks, a fast-moving knife-edge balance point of the Seasons. Tomato seedlings should go in at that time, and the kohlrabi, beets, and lettuce should be about "done" (-for). Wild mustard is growing all over town, and I surely love the mustard greens done lightly wilted in the bamboo steamer along with a meal. A cold Winter storm bearing down on us from the Gulf of Alaska will wash over the desert on the weekend: I'll be laying-in some firewood today. The US Government in Washington, D.C. is shut down today, due to a snowstorm. Winter in the Capital; tentative signs of Spring in the desert. I've got flower seeds to plant: African Daisy and Painted Daisy. They like our dry heat, and, boy, do they smile when they flower. An ancient Ch'an master said: "People of the present age see these flowers as if in a DREAM!" Even then, even then.
