Comments (14)Suzy, by the way, I hope your shipping container DOES turn out to be robbery proof! Are you growing other Chinas in your woods? I admit I find it hard to reconcile those sun-loving plants with the mental image I have of your property. Well, to continue: the pleasures aren't necessarily what we thought they'd be. There's the expectancy: seeing that the seeds did sprout, that the plant did survive that hideous freeze, that the cutting stuck in the ground the fall before did start to leaf out. I love the new foliage of the once-blooming old roses, so fresh and tender. It starts to get disease right around the start of flowering time, so you have this window, once the roses have leafed out and are forming their buds, where there's just beautiful living green. I've thought about the difference between what my garden is to me and to my rare visitors. The guest sees what's there at the moment; they haven't lived the history. They're not thrilled at the little Daphne laureola, which was dug up in the hills nearby and successfully transplanted; they don't get excited that the Cyclamen cilicium is seeding around. They enjoy the handsome Daphne odora 'Aureomarginata', but don't share my triumph at having figured out that it was exactly the right plant for that spot. My sister the horticulturalist, a wonderful plant person, saw more than the guest would who just wants a sea of flowers, but even she was there only at one point in time. I'm in my garden through the year, living the succession of flowers and all the various beauties, but experiencing also the soil--lots of soil--the weeds and little herbs, the change of the weather and the seasons. And even though I'm not very observant, still I see quite a lot, sooner or later, simply by being there month after month and year after year. What is most beautiful in the garden is serendipitous. I can never wholly plan for it, though I do a great deal of serious planning. Some combination of plant and moment and light and my mood do it. There are moments of delight, sometimes with seemingly slight causes: I love oak leaves and acorns and buds, and have been tickled pink by clematis stems and foliage. Scent will do it too, of course. Titian, that's exactly it....See MoreI need more single or semi singles

Comments (79)maifleur, I don't think you're stupid but sometimes you are misinformed and a bit stubborn about it. Telecommunication and infrastructure investments are all about population density and population levels. Another example of that was how rural areas were so late in getting electricity in the 20th century compared to many urban areas that had it many decades sooner. Today, if you want high speed internet and cell phone coverage, living in a rural area is a choice unlikely to be helpful. "Tracfone buys their feeds but so does every other carrier" Very much not true for the larger carriers. Both Verizon and AT+T operate their own networks (mostly, not entirely) and several of the smaller ones do also, in large part. If not, why would there such wide differences in the coverage maps? "People live where they have homes." People usually live where they have employment, not where they have homes. Are you suggesting that someone who owns a home in a 4 house town in North Dakota is going to stay there unemployed rather than move somewhere they can get a job they're qualified to do? I don't think so. I do remember Roaming charges. I even had that happen not that many years ago when I was up in the Sierra foothills in an area that had some little podunk cellular carrier. When the charge appeared on my bill, I called Verizon and they reversed it. The "R" symbol always appears when I use my smartphone abroad because its connection to a non-Verizon system is a form of "roaming"....See More- 22 years ago
