This photo isn't our garden, it's somebody else's, on another day. Today's thundery rain has awarded me a day off. I'm not sure why I think that. Maybe it's the slow moving torment of regular gardening and the observations of unplanned and manic growth that cries for help and needs to be attended to, instantly. So under this damp hood of June raindrops and swirling cloud I'm happy to step back and watch a green and wet world unfold and develop. I'm powerless when it comes to weather.
"Only a fool would say that" is a song by Steely Dan that effectively takes down John Lennon's whole "Imagine" bullshit. "Imagine" a song so vacuous and idiotic that's unquestioning trotted out time after time as if it represented some brilliant insights into the deeper truths of the human condition. Nope, it's elementary bullshit however well meant (?) or regarded it might seem to be. The Steely Dan song has the words "a world become one, salads and sun, only a fool would say that", hence the post title. It was just going around in my head after breakfast. No big deal.
P.S. Along came the sun (about 12:00) and dried up all the rain. Incy Wincy Spider climbed up the spout again.
