| This is Norma Boeckler's garden, and she designed the cover of Creation Gardening. |
Ranger Bob was looking at the graphics that repeat on the Bethany video website. He wanted to see the one above.
Later, I had four copies arrive for distribution. One went to a neighbor on the next block. I saved another for PFC, a member of the Military-Gardening Group. Various items pass back and forth, such as the 3D book on the HMS Hood.
"Bob, what do you think of a 3D book on a WWII Japanese sub?" He made a face and said he only liked the Japanese subs that carried airplanes. I said, "OK. I won't let you read my copy I ordered - about a Japanese sub."
Bob said, "You have one coming?" The Hood copy was brand new, very inexpensive, and has exquisite graphics, close ups of every detail on the famous battle cruiser, lost during the battle with the Bismarck.
PFC has a big interest in gardening, so I gave Creation Gardening: By Him Were All Things Made to Bob to give to PFC. They work at the newspaper printing plant.
Bob had his hands on the book for a couple of days. He said before our latest confab on the porch, "Could I borrow a copy for a while? I picked up your gardening book and could not put it down."
Bob got the next book.
Mrs. Ichabod joined us last night as we sipped various drinks on the porch - Brazilian coffee and Diet Pepsi. Veterans Honor rose is often the favorite, but new blooms are opening all the time.
- Bee Balm is just starting.
- Butterfly Weed is in full bloom.
- Joe Pye and Clethra are read to bloom.
- Daisies are mostly in flower.
- Oriental Lilies have emerged to bloom.
- Borage, easily overlooked,is blooming white and blue.
- Balloon flowers are showing off.
- Hosta flowers attract the hummingbirds.
Bees work over the Butterfly Weed, close to our chairs on the narrow porch. Everyone enjoys watching them work over the blooms.
"Every time is different in this garden," PFC observed.
Tis.
