Sunday music: Steve Earle – The Revolution Starts Now

Steve’s playing September 11, 2008 at the State Theatre, Ithaca, N.Y.

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered ‘round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

More purples and violets

Over the last weekend or two, I’ve realized once again that I seem to have an attraction for purples and violets. Click images for larger view.

After telling my country neighbor Lynn not to get her hopes up about anemones (due to my experiences with them as deer candy), a couple of forgotten plants snuck out of the thicket and started blooming. Am hoping all those buds break before bambi finds them.

And of course there are still coneflowers blooming, this one a little later in a little shadier location.
