For the second year in a row, our white amaryllis is flowering. The trick seems to be to stop watering it in December, let all the leaves fall off, and then recommence watering as soon as the flower shoot appears.

I wonder what projects of our own might flower if given a chance, first, to die back.

I found Hearn’s piece through Today in Tabs, where I also found a link to some free anti-ICE posters that I printed out onto vinyl sticker paper and cut out. I’m not sure exactly what I’m going to do with them.

When it gets real gloomy and wet, why not head for a nearby hill, right at nightfall, and indulge in some fog-bathing?

The Housekeeper and the Professor is a great book. But man, could I love this reissue’s cover any more?

(Spotted at the surprisingly fun Barnes & Noble at the Grove.)

If you see them in a grocery store, why not buy some kiwifruit, quarter them, peel their hairy skin, and slurp down a few wedges of alien-green, tart-sweet flesh?

Last week when I wrote about reading a Big Winter Book™ and taking lots of baths, I somehow neglected to include the reference photograph of Mason & Dixon resting upon the requisite next-to-bath hand-drying towel. I apologize for the oversight.
