I did read a short book, a one act - one actor - play yesterday, UNDERNEATH THE LINTEL. About a somewhat anal librarian. His job was to check books in from the night return box. One day he found one that was overdue . . . . 113 years overdue. He took it upon himself to collect the fine, lost his job in the process as he circled the world hoping to re-coup some of the fine from whom is never clear. But it turned out that that the borrower was an immortal, like a Zebra plant. Itas a fun read..... like any good librarian he documents his hunt . . . its almost Biblical.

a few pictures (clicking them could make them jumbo!)

a little closer, promies a boutiful harvest for the squirrels:


Up close, rather pretty, attractive to bees...


Holly blooming, a premonition of Christmas and snow? already a reminder?




be well,
