Great post. <em>Thanks, Carol - I brake for bloom day. See you tomorrow! -kris</em> We all should brake more often to notice what is around us, whether it is world-renowned violinist in a subway stop or a simple rose (if roses can be simple) in a garden.

Gardens almost always make me brake, and trash day... well, trash day is very bad for me. I brake lots during trash day, especially if I see real wood... lol. <em>If I had your knack for finding treasures, I'd brake all over trash day too! -kris</em> I brake for lots of things… sometimes interesting trees, sometimes carpets of daffodils in an old farmyard, sometimes deer by the side of the road.

If I had your knack for finding treasures, I’d brake all over trash day too! -kris

Metro article--I was up late reading it last night and watching the video. I was robbed sleep by memories of me walking by countless performers in Boston on the MBTA and the horrific question of did I ever have a Joshua Bell moment and missed it? I think as gardeners, though, we shouldn't worry too much about this sort of thing. To enjoy a pursuit that requires such fastidious patience and tolerance of failure requires a more sensitive soul. <em>Nicely put, Susan.
