by Bob Smith (Author) In this bitingly funny and often surprising memoir, award-winning author and groundbreaking comedian Bob Smith offers a meditation on the vitality of the natural world--and an intimate portrait of his own darkly humorous and profoundly authentic response to a life-changing illness. In Treehab--named after a retreat cabin in rural Ontario--Smith muses how he has "always sought the path less traveled." He rebuffs his diagnosis of ALS as only an unflappable stand-up comic could ("Lou Gehrig's Disease? But I don't even like baseball!") and explores his complex, fulfilling experience of fatherhood, both before and after the onset of the disease. Stories of his writing and performing life--punctuated by hilariously cutting jokes that comedians tell only to each other--are interspersed with tales of Smith's enduring relationship with nature: boyhood sojourns in the woods of upstate New York and adult explorations of the remote Alaskan wilderness; snakes and turtles, rocks and minerals; open sky and forest canopy; God and friendship--all recurring touchstones that inspire him to fight for his survival and for the future of his two children. Aiming his potent, unflinching wit at global warming, equal rights, sex, dogs, Thoreau, and more, Smith demonstrates here the inimitable insight that has made him a beloved voice of a generation. He reminds us that life is perplexing, beautiful, strange, and entirely worth celebrating. Author Biography Bob Smith has won multiple honors for his memoirs Openly Bob and Way to Go, Smith and his novels Selfish and Perverse and Remembrance of Things I Forgot. He was the first openly gay comedian to appear on The Tonight Show and among the first to be given his own HBO comedy special. He lives in New York City.

Over 60 individuals of the four dominant grasses were excavatedand examined. Three, Koeleria cristata, Poa sandhergii, and Festucaovina ingrata, are shallow-rooted, the bulk of the absorbing systemlying above the 18-inch level, while Agropyrum spicatum penetrates toa maximum depth of 4 feet 10 inches. Agropyrum spicatum.—This is the dominant bunchgrass in eastern Wash-ington. It has its best development westward of the high upland prairiesof extreme eastern Washington and along the rim-rock through the easternpart. The bunches are often 10 inches in diameter and reach a height of over3 feet. The plant blossoms in June and dries out in early July, only to takeon renewed growth after the autumn rains and to remain green all winter. This grass has coarser roots than any of the other three important nativegrasses. These coarse, fibrous roots have many short laterals. Some of the Text Appearing After Image: THE PRAIRIES OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. 33 roots reach a depth of 4 feet 10 inches, although on an average 4 feet 2 incheswas the greatest depth attained. Festuca ovina ingrata.—The blue bunchgrass ranks in importance withAgropyrum on the well-developed high prairies west of the foothills of theBitterroot Mountains between Spokane, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho.Because of its abundance the very appropriate name Palouse (Fr. pelouse, aland clothed with a short, thick growth of herbage) was early applied to thisregion. The whole plant dries out considerably by the middle of July, but theautumn rains revive it and it is green throughout the rest of the year. Festuca ovina has a great mass of jet-black roots which occupy the soilthoroughly from the surface to a depth of about 18 inches, below which depthrelatively few roots extend. None of the roots are over 1 mm. in diameter.They branch profusely to the third order mostly, and the laterals are usuallyless than an inch in length.

I’ve put together some botanical interior ideas along with photography to inspire you including green paint, botanical wallpaper, indoor plant displays and more
The weather was typical for Easter. Overcast, dull and drizzly. I gathered some materials locally and spent the day at home working on some new ideas. I've been practicing making circles with newly grown shrubs, twigs and branches and I made a miniature bowl with beech leaves and a concentric circle design. All for another day. I wanted to do something with new green leaves and so I collected some dock leaves and pinned them to a circular frame I had made. It was just crying out for some sunlight to make it look its best. The weather was kind to me and as I headed up to the hills a few breaks in the cloud started to appear and soon after it brightened up more. The breeze was very light, which was fortunate as this piece was extremely flimsy, but it seemed as the sun broke through so did the wind start to intensify. Each section of leaf started to flap or come away from the frame. This can be the most frustrating (but also most satisfying) part of ephemeral land art: trying to keep it together long enough to takes its photograph. It collapsed soon after getting these shots. In keeping with the ethos of my land art, this sculpture demonstrates the new growth of spring. The fresh twig growth means that it is possible to make a circle as they are pliable and soft enough to shape and to hold together. Later in the season this would not be possible. The delicate new dock leaves displaying their fresh green-ness reveal something about Spring too. I can't decide which picture is best hence the gaggle of shots presented here, and there are still more that I wanted to post. Using thorns and leaves is difficult, that is why there are so many holes in the leaves. They tear and break so easily. One day I want to be skillful enough to make something like this perfectly so the green is a solid slab of colour. There is always something new to learn and techniques to perfect. I wouldn't want it any other way! This picture was one of the last I took. As you can see there is quite a lot of sunlight getting through where the leaf is shredded or blown away from the frame. It fell apart soon after this. The previous photos were taken earlier. Land Art Blog
