I was surprised to find a huge tuber buried in the pot of the florist’s cyclamen I bought last winter from Hortus Forum, our undergrad horticulture club at Cornell University. These plants — like forced bulbs — are usually considered disposable after they flower. But I’m glad I saved this one to give some angels to dance on the kitchen window sill.

Get ’em while they’re hot. This year’s images are heavy on scans and manipulations. But there are also photographs from some of my favorite times of year.
To celebrate Nate and Jo making it to the Mississippi, I pulled together some river songs from the late great John Hartford. (Keep up with Nate and Jo’s adventures on Chasing 70.)
While I’ve been a big fan of the late great Hartford since I was a tot watching The Glen Campbell Show (faves include I’m still here, Aereo Plain, Tall Buildings, Joseph’s Dream and this reggae classic), it’s his river songs that always grabbed me and made me imagine that I’m on the trip that Nate and Jo are on today.
Enjoy:

Many thanks to Stan and Kathy and the regulars at the Pekin Boat Club for the hospitality (and warm shower) they provided Nathan and Jo.
Been too busy lately to do any scans. But I did grab some grass pix over the weekend and went through the usual manipulations with one that I usually do with scans.
