No wait I said the wrong word, I meant survive…
This is no a good friend of ours ranch in Wyoming and they are having a horrible drought and everyone out there is ether selling their cows or sending them away. When we were there my brother and father said it looks like it dose in October when they go out there each year. Not good.
Antelope
in a world without color
life still exists
to thrive and persevere
waiting for its return

and until all are one
I have a love-affair with shamrocks. The green shamrock is older than 30 years (as it's older than me) - some of the bulbs were given to my parents by their neighbor...and she'd had the plant forever....it was a family plant passed among their family. Now I have some of the bulbs, as does dad. This is a plant that survived me dumping it out, my mom's cat eating it, and my dad's secretary overwatering it (so have I, incidentally). And it's still thriving. The purple shamrock in the front is one I purchased a few years ago....it's about 3. Both put out white flowers, but they are quite striking next to the purple leaves. I have a third shamrock, which is green, that will be traveling to school with me. I saved it from our school greenhouse at the end of the year when our ag teacher was giving away the plants. The shamrock was looking ragged. It looks great now. If you've never owned a shamrock, try it. They take little watering (trust me - if you think you'll overwater, get one of those watering worms that tell you when it's dry). They are hardy and beautiful. Mine are outside right now, but will come back in when the temperatures start to cool off.
P.S. The plants are actually called oxalis, but you will usually see them under the name shamrock.
