Nadi is the ultimate proofreader so she has final responsibility for what Faye says. I think that makes her Faye’s official voice. I’m a stuffy writer in every sense of the word. I have a bad habit of trying to cram too much info in at once and my style of writing is outdated. I’m basically an information geek. I forget sometimes that others don’t find unusual tidbits of data as fascinating as I do. I’m just the river bed, Nadi is the river. For now, I control and direct the creative flow. Eventually, Nadi will do that for herself.
Nadi and her friends are having way too much fun with Faye. Remember the Steven King/Richard Bachman craziness? When they are through with her, Faye will probably have been one of Sasquatch’s ex-wives. ROFL.
No ground hog needed. Spring does appear to be here. The large peach tree I moved is in bloom. The re-location to the w/c garden doesn’t seem to have fazed it. There are leaf buds on the figs and pomegranates. The Belles of Ireland are in full bloom. I found hyacinth in bloom that quite honestly I forgot we had planted. Also, I have what appears to be Utah Strain onions coming up everywhere in what are supposed to be flower beds this year. No t sure how that happened either. I would have sworn I planted those in 2010 and concluded the seed package hadn’t been viable. I think Mother Nature just likes sticking her tongue out at gardeners sometimes. “Na-Na-Na-Na-Na!”
I’m wondering if this jumpstart on spring is a fluke or the new norm. I haven't been good about keeping bloom time records in past years, but I would swear these plants did not bloom so early in previous years. Amargia has a cooler microclimate. We usually run about two weeks behind our neighbors in bloom time. I will be interested to see what is going on at the botanical garden.
