Theoretically today is a big deal day, all 12 – 12 – 12, and what not. Here at Totem Hall, the rains came and came. It is that particularly cold late fall day that only the South can produce, damp and grey. It also reminds me that I need to send in my L.L. Bean duck boots for repair.

My memorable project for the big 12 – 12 – 12 is to construct a weather station so that I can know exactly just how cold and damp, or, come summer, just how hot and dry, I really am. Well, that and I need to write a dozen or so thank you notes before the day is out for a birthday not too past.
winter flowers in all their glory, both faded and prime…
Given the outside gloom, I thought I might add a picture of a flower or two, all fall/winter blooms. A gentle reminder that, yes, down south we do get colors during the shortest of months.

So lovely to see you posting. Winter flowers are nature’s biggest pick me ups, of course here it’s a barren wilderness for a few more months.
And thank you – I changed that line, what a fool!

We are indeed fortunate in our part of the world to have a not too terribly barren winter, though in the end I suspect it makes us a bit louche. Several sites that I read online move/touch me though yours was actually the first to make me want to go out and do some damn thing about it. Cheers!

Oh ‘Bella Lugosi’s’ dead? – I used to love that song, I know all of the words off by heart, it was so deeply dark and atmospheric.

I loved that whole eighties alternative British music invasion, having been too young to understand or get the first one. Bauhaus was one of my favorites and I remember the first hearing that song at university and thinking, “Wow, now that is spectacular!”
