You showed me how to not throw my troubles away
tl;dr my body is chewed up by medical conditions and their treatment and I have not slept more than two or three hours in five nights, but this afternoon I had to walk into Davis for a prescription and I photographed some flowering things along the way. The cherries are still blooming.
I have been walking by this tree for weeks and never remembering my camera.
The sun came out for just long enough to turn the tulips into lanterns.
The close-packed crepe of the ornamental cherry never settled in the wind.
Every time I tried to shoot up into the branches of the weeping cherry I found while loitering for my order of Indian takeout, my camera shut itself down and I turned it back on and took about eight pictures that way.
I am still watching almost nothing in the way of movies, but![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spatch and I are enjoying the introductory riffs on weird New England in Widow's Bay (2026–). The series so far feels more like a collection of strange stories than a puzzle-box, off-kilter without tipping as far as spoof. I hope it can hold. I'd had no idea I should have been following Matthew Rhys for his powers of +10 mortal fear. In other art, I had missed the gloriously angular revival of the Pylon Reenactment Society's Magnet Factory (2024). I believe moon_custafer that this musician is doing his impressive best in the absence of his natural frog form. The doom-folk of Jim Ghedi's "Wasteland" (2025) once again suggests a Cloudish cinema.

I assume your weather has been warmer! We're still in the 40's and 50's °F.

I'm so glad our city was planted with them in among the Bradford pears.

Love the double-headed golden amphibious resonator! What a great reason to play music half-submerged! And yes, those doom-folk (nice name) in "Wasteland" do seem very Cloudish!

Thank you! I would attend your procession.

I maintain that summer really does start May 1 where I am, not June. By August things are visibly autumnal. Cherries are over now---bulbs are finishing up, and they will be done in by the coming warm spell---it's time to get serious about annuals for the containers---I may have missed the window for popping the support things over the peonies, already...the new ensata irises need to go in the water today...

Thank you! The lantern was especially welcome coming out of the overcast. Our days lately have been majority-grey.

It's very unclear to me what our seasons actually look like under current conditions, but a cold late spring feels more normal than an early hot one.

I had to look up ensata as differentiated from any other kind of iris, but they are lovely and I hope they thrive! How are the peonies doing?
