Do you have any night-bloomers? My wife and I never could get them to overwinter -- not out in the pond, not in a bucket of wet sand, not in a large tub of water. But maybe you've learned the trick.
I imagine a child. That child is me. I can reconstruct and vividly remember portions of my own childhood. I can see, taste, smell, feel, and hear them. Then what I do is, not write about that kid or about his world, but start to think of a book that would have pleased him.

Of the previous colors identified as 'pink', this pink is definitely the pinkest (the others were fuchsia, and magenta)
I know from experience that the pink water lilies are difficult to nurture. Congratulations to whoever set up the lily pond.
thanks.

Pink is insistent
And demands grey or black.
Pink unchecked is distressing
As a matter of fact.
Beautiful. This one is my favorite.

k*thy - is that your pond? Nicely done.
