not me, nor my garden
but he and i have similar attitudes
and this warmer weather
really has me wanting to get my garden going
then just stand back
and take it all in.
(hello to claude monet, at giverny gardens in 1923, perhaps thinking about painting it)

“to plant a garden is the chief of the arts of peace.”

Rue Montorgueil in Paris
“An enormous fortress of prejudices, privileges, superstitions, lies, exactions, abuses, violences, iniquities, and darkness still stands erect in this world, with its towers of hatred. It must be cast down. This monstrous mass must be made to crumble. To conquer at Austerlitz is grand; to take the Bastille is immense.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
on bastille day, all these years later, let history remind us that change is always possible.
