I grew these morning glory wild flowers from seed AND these purple/blue petunias. They were amazing. Didn’t do as well on the front porch, but they loved the deck. The morning glories bloom every morning in red and blue.
My cucumbers and peppers and tomatoes and herbs and potatoes all did well.
Happy Friday. I’m pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle in my back doing yoga today so will ride the bike and get back in the hot tub tomorrow. Work on some writing for a change.
I love words so I write them. I’ve been doing that since I was old enough to read. I am a published literary writer and I was an adjunct English professor at Northern Michigan University for many years. I write and live and love off the grid on 35 acres and a trout stream in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my son, Joshua, who has Down Syndrome, and with an English Shepherd dog named Maggie, and with my husband when he can make it here which isn’t often. This blog started out being about my work, and it will continue to be. ( I’m working on a novel about premonitions and dreams.) But this blog is also about living off the grid and about my experimentation with diet—most recently the Carnivore Diet. I started on the Ketogenic diet, but have moved into Carnivore. How long, I don’t know. But I’ve become interest in the effects of diet on not just my health, but on creativity. And I’m interested in the effects of the diet on my dreams.
Ah, dreams... The day before my son was born, my mother “dreamed” or was told my son would have Down Syndrome, something she told my brother ahead of time. I’ve never known what to make of that. So I’m interested in prophetic dreams, lucid dreaming, creativity and dreams, night terrors. Who isn't interested in that? I’m interested in Freud (more Jung) and Einstein’s theories of time and how their ideas inform my dreams. I’m interested in mining a deeper relationship with a dream world not confined to daytime experiences, and how the night might inform a more fully imagined daytime “reality.” And vice-versa. Which is the dream?? I’m exploring dreams of all sorts. Come explore with me…

I’m so far behind!
Morning glories are beautiful but self-pollinators: you’ll have them forever now! When they die off, just cut them back…and they’ll reappear next year, too. And the year after that. 🌸🌺
Mine are going on Year 22. I don’t mind them: hearty but beautiful, with a will to live!
wow I guess you have to admire that! I did like them. They weren’t the best container plants really though off and on they looked gorgeous. They didn’t like the front porch but did well on the back deck and they DID climb everywhere. They seemed like Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors so I get what you mean! The flowers when they bloomed really lovely. I grew them from seed actually. I had some wild flowers year before I liked better but couldn’t find them. I mixed them in both years with some petunias I grew from seed. Hope you are well.

Well, they were in containers, pots, so I’m saved there. 🙂 Not sure I’ll grow them again but I enjoyed them this year.
