Wet Laundry Brain, Mums & Asters

 

Wet Laundry

The frequent rain this summer has my new ideas leaning sympathetically into a wet laundry brain. The ability to brainstorm is on the move eastward out to sea.

I frequently put down on blank notebook paper random subjects to write about, explore, ponder. With a whiff of autumn in the air, new ideas should easily flow. They are not.

An area of study is up front, though, Science. What about science I have yet to discover why it is on my mind. Thus, I've decided to re-read a favorite book by Hans C. Von Baeyer, Rainbows, Snowflakes and Quarks: Physics and the World Around Us, 1984, that I first read well over 20 years ago.

Books I re-read provide a unique experience to explore where my mind has been. Like visiting an old friend, they will give me a life on refresh moment.

Are there books you want to re-read?

$7.99 Mums

On another note

Does anyone remember when mums were on sale 3 for $12.00?

In this area they are now $5.97 to $8.99 for the 5 or 6 inch pot.

This year I bought asters to add a warm hue to the garden. The color is actually a dark rich purple with little red tint. Think crayon purple.

Happy Swap Ideas Day!
