Frida Kahlo's Monkey

 A package!  A package from Kansas!  And what wonders await inside?  A work of art for my plants from a friend, an artist, a teacher whom I've known for over 40 years!  What joy!


Such an elegant thinness, it has me worried about placing a plant directly into it because of the power of roots to break pots.

Nothing Gold

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn go down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

~ Robert Frost, 1874 - 1963
