Boston-based Jewell gets major airplay on our local folky radio shows, and plays at the Finger Lakes Grassroots festival.
More from this Amsterdam set: High shelf booze, Heartache Boulevard, and Boundary Country. My favorite tune of hers is Where They Never Say Your Name, which conveniently is on top of the jukebox on her site.
Quick picture purge, mostly of the grassy border yesterday …
Volunteer sumac. Never had much luck with the cutleaf variety. But I’ll settle for the species. They’re a lot cheaper ;-7

Ground-level shot of finished labyrinth.
I posted about this scene from the movie Idiocracy a year or so ago. But I just ran into the video. Good times.
More from the weekend image dump …
Abutilon pictum ‘Thompsonii’ (I think. Finally looked it up tonight by googling variegated abutilon and mostly got images from my own blog. And discovered I’d been misspelling it all these years.)

Up close.
Bittersweet
Sanguisorba tenuifolia (Burnet)
More image dumps from the weekend…

The floating clouds of fall sedums. Piet Oudolf is big on umbel and umbel-like inflorescences. Note to self: I need more.

And, of course, some more anemones
