I enjoyed hearing about your wild glads because it reminds me of ours. In our zone 5b clime glads are not supposed to overwinter but we've had several that have survived at least three winters. It got to -5 earlier in February so we'll see if they survived yet again. I, too, ponder mortality. Several of my co workers over the years have died (mainly from cancer) along with my childhood best friend, whom I knew for over 50 years. And, the son of someone at my company died on his 17th birthday a couple of months ago, hit by an impaired teenage driver.

I provide the "muscle" as needed. <br />I'm at the age where I see quite often people in the obituary section of the paper. Friends and coworkers. I talked to my last boss before I retired. He has ALS and he is quite philosophic about it. I had another coworker die in a motorcycle accident earlier this week.<br />Thank you for a great post.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343122535318547716.post-36268304823090633972023-02-22T16:30:43.883-08:002023-02-22T16:30:43.883-08:00Thank you once again for your kind words, Janice. ...Thank you once again for your kind words, Janice. You and I have been "together" in the blogosphere for a very long time, and I've always enjoyed reading about your life and times. I haven't always been particularly faithful, but I do appreciate your perspective. As an avowed anglophile, I especially enjoy your across-the-pond views of (as one of my favorite of your countrymen has famously put it) life, the universe, and everything.owlfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882960630491073169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343122535318547716.post-45971960909629767022023-02-22T00:10:30.418-08:002023-02-22T00:10:30.418-08:00It is interesting how much detail one can find in ...It is interesting how much detail one can find in an item when tasked to describe it. It's a good exercise to undertake. <br /><br />Plants can be remarkably robust. You did very well with dividing your wild gladioli. It's hard work. I have a wooden barrel full of agapanthus and I know that dividing them will destroy the barrel but then I might get some flowers!<br /><br />The world can be a depressing place but seeing nature doing her best helps to dispel the gloom somewhat. There is little cause for optimism in Ukraine, I fear, and their spring will only bring forth fresh assaults.<br /><br />It's good to see a long life well-lived drawing to a peaceful conclusion - something we all aspire to.<br />jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.com
