Every gardening year I learn things. This year I learned not to be afraid of morning glories. (Wait!! Maybe I better see what next year brings in the way of seedlings.). I had 3 kinds of morning glories this year, Moon vines, which I already wrote about (they are still blooming and flowers seem to be getting larger), Picotee morning glories, purple flower with a thin white line on the edge of the funnel, and this wonderful Heavenly Blue morning glory. I had forgotten I planted it until it bloomed. It was twisted among the moon vines and had not bloomed til a few days ago. I see there are other flowers to come and I am anxiously waiting. Once, years ago, my sister-in-law planted some Heavenly Blues near a guy wire for a electric pole and they climbed all the way to the top of the pole. It was a good choice and I made a good choice too, in planting mine to climb on the porch railing where I could see and enjoy them at close range.
These postings will center around things that I encounter that are interesting, beautiful, and sometimes the spiritual connection between all these things. This blog is for myself, perhaps more than for you, the reader. It is to remind myself of the passage of time and reflect on the beauty and meaning of the days.

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory
Every gardening year I learn things. This year I learned not to be afraid of morning glories. (Wait!! Maybe I better see what next year brings in the way of seedlings.). I had 3 kinds of morning glories this year, Moon vines, which I already wrote about (they are still blooming and flowers seem to be getting larger), Picotee morning glories, purple flower with a thin white line on the edge of the funnel, and this wonderful Heavenly Blue morning glory. I had forgotten I planted it until it bloomed. It was twisted among the moon vines and had not bloomed til a few days ago. I see there are other flowers to come and I am anxiously waiting. Once, years ago, my sister-in-law planted some Heavenly Blues near a guy wire for a electric pole and they climbed all the way to the top of the pole.
