Drivers have hurled bags of urine at me and I've even been threatened with a gun: Female roadworker reveals her road rage hell at the hands of angry motorists - tv2club-2024-08-31 15:24:11
Looking east on Highway 56 - southwestern Utah between Cedar City and Enterprise. Special thanks to my wife for the title ... xxoo As I traveled this road, I kept seeing this image in the rear view mirror. So, at the top of the hill, I pulled to the side of the road and walked to the middle of the road for this shot .... I didn't have to worry about traffic :-)

Probably taken early May: Aethionema grandiflorum in bloom at top, and gorgeous foliage on Salvia cyanescens below. I believe Lauren Springer Ogden coined the term "hell strip" (it goes by many gentler synonyms like "parking strip", and she created a firestorm of controversy if I recall by writing about them in Horticulture several decades ago. Meanwhile, my life partner, Jan Fahs, purchased a home with the most hellish of hellstrips--nearly 200' of black plastic hell which she was modestly peeling back and gently planting until I came along. Then one day (which she continues to rue) I tore out the rest of the black plastic, and we began planting and sowing seed in earnest. These pictures don't really do it justice. There are two or three things to keep in mind: out of a million or more houses and buildings in Denver, this is one of the few that is deliberately unwatered. That is to say, only two or three that are GARDENS that are unwatered (lots of derelict lots with weeds of course). Item two: it is always changing through the year, from year to year. These are just two glimpses. I am perpetually amazed at how well bearded iris do here--unwatered! Here they are blooming with Penstemon eatonii...late May. I have forgotten what the pale blue penstemon is: P. cyananthus perhaps? And yes, bachelor's buttons are almost weedy. A better look at the penstemon. Lychnis coronaria budding up to bloom at left. I rather like the mix of colors on the Centaurea cyanus. Another view in May... And yet another... Probably just a form of Iris pallida...awfully delicate, however. This was THE year for iris. This picture is more likely to be June, Verbascum have joined the irises (which seemed to go on forever this year...) Another angle... Mulleins look great with Penstemon eatonii--and I have to admit that the Dianthus deltoides is in part shade--it doesn't take the drought in full sun. Please ignore the bindweed (I did spray it later). My favorite Turkish salvias are kicking in (the lavender in back--will detail them next)--but notice how happy the Onosma echioides is in the front (Lady's eardrops). Of course in Greece it has six months of drought! Salvia cyanescens coming into bloom in front, Salvia recognita behind--two Anatolian salvias introduced by Jim and Jenny Archibald. I love these so much! Gorgeous foliage, wonderful aroma and good all year long. And boy! do they love this garden! Slightly different angle--this one showing the Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' better...I should plant more of that! It looks good with the blues. Salvia cyanescens with bachelor's buttons.. Salvia recognita (left) with a medley of meadow flowers...aaaaah! Lallemantia canescens--another wonderful Anatolian mint introduced by Jim and Jenny Archibald. This is perennial when stressed, biennial or even annual on rich soils. Blooms on and off all summer depending on rains--one of the great plants (Plant Select ought to have noticed--oh well! They can't have all the good stuff!)... Almost looks like a lupine! A better view of Salvia recognita--a work horse if there ever was one--I have almost 70' of this planted on an unwatered strip in my Quince garden--and could use more! Three wonderful Salvias: recognita on upper left, S. cyanescens front center, and S. x superba on the right. One of a handful of Achillea in the garden--a taygetea type...and of course the Linum perenne--of which there are a million--has shed its petals for the day. Somewhere I have a lot of pictures of the garden in late June when Dianthus giganteus takes over (here just starting to bloom), but you've had a taste!...I end with a shot I found on Google Maps--Jan's garden was photographed at peak bloom for salvias--I've never caught it in quite the right light at peak bloom: thank you Google! And thank you for reading to the bottom!

“You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way. But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it. Matthew 7:13-4 In our journey through the sermon on the mount, we have reached this passage which is quite a tough one! To warm up we're going to play two games: 1) Limbo dancing- the child who manages to do the lowest limbo move is the prize winner. 2) Marbles- Children have the choice to roll their marble through a wide gap (easy) or a narrow gap (hard). After all the children have had a go, give a prize to anyone who managed to get their marble through the narrow gap, to emphasise the fact that the people who met the toughest challenge were the ones who won the prizes in the end. Our children tend to respond quite well to visual teaching styles so this is what I've come up with this week to take the discussion further... Print off the sheet (click here) Fold the sheet in half with the picture on the outside (you will see a vague line when you print out the sheet!) Cut along the two side edges of each brown rectangle. Next, open up the sheet and fold along the middle again, but this time with the picture on the inside. Carefully fold the brown rectangles to the inside of the paper so that the outside looks like this and when you open the paper... The brown 'gates' pop up! Talk to the children about the Matthew passage and show them that the road to the wide gate has plenty of room to travel on, but the road to the narrow gate is much more twisted and hard to follow. This is the gate that leads to the wide open spaces, though, and the wide gate leads only to a pit. Talk about the things that following the different paths might involve and get the children to write or draw them on the paths. Then think about the rewards of going through the narrow gate. What does it lead to? Again, get the children to draw or write their responses.
