Thinking about an old friend and a fine writer: Gilbert Hines. We often appeared at open poetry readings and drank together. One night he brought over a fifth of aquavit, and discussed embarking on a collaboration that took an honest look at race in America. Sadly, we never got to work on that project because Gilbert became ill. A misdiagnosis left him with inoperable prostate cancer. He went into seclusion, and died shortly thereafter.
One of my favorite pieces of Gilbert's was about the community barbershops in the area of 52nd Street in West Philly. So I'm dedicating this image to him.
NEW LONDON, Conn – Children from the Child Development Center near the U.S. Coast Guard Academy are escorted by Academy cadets, enlisted members, officers, family and friends to Cadet Memorial Field at the Academy as part of the Month of the Military Child campaign “Purple Up!”, April 5, 2017.
April is the Month of the Military Child, which recognizes the patriotism and sacrifices of children with one or both parents serving our country. The military is asking Americans to wear purple, a blend of the colors of the five armed services, to show support for military children.

Went to Valley Fest Balloon launch early Friday morning. Only one balloon was set up in the dark. Lori, one of the Fire Dispatchers that is fighting cancer got to go up in the first one. Knock one off her bucket list.
This is looking toward the center up hill in our backyard. The lower from has Blue Danube Azaleas just budding with some Blue Lithadora. In front of the concrete is the fist pathway between the Blue Danue and the wall. Percy Wiseman Rhododendron, Bruce Brechtbill Rododendron and My My Rhododendron in bud, Blue Lithadora trailing down the hill wherever the sun reaches it. I want it to cover the railroad ties that help to hold the hill. Then as the lower plants age they will grow up to meet the Lithadora. It all takes time. I have planted Sword Ferns, Huckleberries, and woods plants such as the Trillium which I love! Also we have in the hillside bed the native Salal (which has to be trimmed) but it does help hold the hill along with the Sword Ferns and other native plants. My goal is to finish planting the hill with Rhodies, and Azaleas and then have a small water feature, along with an automatic sprinkler system. I really need one for all of this. Nearly 40 years ago, I met a man by the name of Paul Sceva that lived in Tacoma. He was instrumental in developing the first visiting areas at Mt. Rainier and had fascinating stories to tell. I was most interested in his personal hillside garden. The trail went back and forth across the top of the hill to the bottom of the gully. The trail was lined with Huckleberries and native plants, and I'm sure he had some of the Rhodies in there as well. I have never forgotten what a wonderful job he did with his hillside garden and trails. I hope to have one as nice as his was.

Depuis la fin de l'hiver, les Gz-Up "classiques" ont refait leur apparition sur les murs de Paris. Ils sont collés très en hauteur (niveau 2ème étage) et sont parfois munis d'une petite étiquette rouge, accrochée par un fil - et qui tourbillonne - où on peut lire "GZ-UP". Celui-là se trouve rue des Archives, au-dessus du parfumeur Nicolaï (Paris 3ème).

The Blue Bottle, or Portuguese Man o' War, is a common, if unwelcome, summer visitor to Sydney beaches. At the mercy of the wind, they are sometimes blown into shallow waters, and often wash up onto the beach. Beach-goers should beware as these animals can deliver a painful sting to the unwary swimmer, or even when dead on the beach...

Its quite amazing. We swam in the ocean but just in this corner there were literally hundreds if not thousands of these blue bottles.
