Take time to watch the wildflowers - Bloomington Pantagraph

Hollowell noted that Hedge Apple Woods, where she has been a long-time volunteer, is full of wildflowers.Some of that, particularly the Virginia bluebells, is thanks to Hazle Buck Ewing, who not only planted bluebells on her property but also shared them with everyone who lived on Sunset Road, according to Hollowell.Other plants were “rescued” from places about to be developed and were transplanted in the woods, she said. That included bloodroot and other plants that had been in the last remaining segment of Blooming Grove.“It was a cooperative effort with the city,” Hollowell said. “It's nice to see how they're spreading on their own.”Recent frost that followed early warmth doesn't seem to have bothered native plants, which are used to wild temperature swings in the Midwest, according to Snyder, who also is a master naturalist.“Every winter and spring is weird in Illinois,” said Rasmussen.That's one reason why Snyder likes growing native plants, which she said is not difficult.“They are pretty care-free,” Snyder said. “You water them the first year, then, if you planted them in the right place … They'll take care of themselves. They've been doing it for hundreds of years.”Snyder notes that the deep roots of native plants “help improve the soil,” while also improving water quality, limiting erosion and sequestering harmful chemicals.“They provide shelter, nesting materials and food for our wildlife,” said Snyder.Many local nurseries have native plants for sale, Snyder said. They also will be available at the upcoming Wild Ones native plant sale. A neighbor may also be willing to share what they have — just don't pick or dig up the ones growing naturally in the wild.Hollowell said the diversity of plants growing in Hedge Apple woods “gives people an idea what they'd like to do in their own yard.”“Different people have different desires,” Rasmussen said. “Some people just like to look at them. Some want to learn more and learn their names.”For those in the latter category, Rasmussen recommends a book by Don Kurz titled “Illinois Wildflowers,” and a website by John Hilty, www.illinoiswildflowers.info.Another good way to learn more is by taking a guided hike, where you can get tips on how to identify wildflowers and hear stories about past and present uses of plants for such things as food or medicine. http://www.pantagraph.com/lifestyles/take-time-to-watch-the-wildflowers/article_a208f4ed-75da-5965-995d-ce4379583b9d.html

Christine Flowers: A few reflections on a 54th birthday - The Delaware County Daily Times

I love the cool December air as I wait for the bus in the morning (and wait, and wait because there are a heck of a lot of express buses that whizz by). I love Talenti gelato, the Hazlenut chocolate chip, especially. I love WOGL because it’s the soundtrack of my youth, conjuring happy days (hey, a girl in polyester, glasses and a bowl cut can still be happy). I love white chocolate, my friends, being snarky with readers who can’t spell.I love life. Fifty-four is kind of old from a biological perspective, pushing the edges of mid-life into the early autumn years. I see wrinkles that used to disappear with my friend but now remain tattooed on my forehead. I see my mother’s features etched more clearly in the mirror. I can’t always see my famously squared jawline because I ate too much Hazlenut chip gelato the night before. I have a few dozen gray hairs (in an attempt at compromise, I’ve named them and they’re all on the Christmas card list).So I’m moving on toward death, as a 7-year-old has suggested. But it’s OK.Because I’m still here, having survived the suicide of loved ones, the losses to cancer and old age, the sadness of dashed expectations, the cruelty of shallow people who have left me happier for their exits and grateful for the connections I made through them (if you’re reading this you know exactly who you are).I’m even grateful for people like Zachary, who remind me that annoying certain people can be among life’s greatest joys.Happy birthday to me.Christine Flowers is an attorney and Delaware County resident.

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi’s Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of ‘Cancel Culture’ - Law & Crime

Washington, D.C. because of “cancel culture.” The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the “illusion” of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases.“According to the Government’s Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out,” attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. “There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn’t take anything, they didn’t break anything.”Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election. The invaders postponed but did not prevent Congress for counting electoral college votes weighing in favor of the real winner, Preside... https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/texas-florist-who-admitted-to-being-in-pelosis-office-wants-case-moved-from-d-c-because-of-cancel-culture/

Cudd was arrested Wednesday and charged with a misdemeanor accused of taking part in the Capitol riots.She could be seen smiling and waving at cameras as she left a virtual hearing. She told media outlets she’d, “do it again, and I’d have a gas mask next time.”Here’s where the Roseville store comes in.

Katy Kirby's Debut Album 'Cool Dry Place' Is Simple And Stunning: Review - Stereogum

Kirby — who was based in Nashville until the pandemic forced her to move back to her small Texas hometown — operates in the well-worn tradition of rambling folk songs. Cool Dry Place is assured enough that it doesn’t need much fuss. There are echoes of Feist, Big Thief, and Hop Along throughout; fans of Florist, Hand Habits, and Lomelda will find a lot to like here. And Cool Dry Place sounds as confident as any of them — music that is subtle and full of space and puts an emphasis on what Kirby is trying to say.What Kirby sings about is more complicated. Her lyrics are wrapped in analogies; she’s wry and has an imaginative streak. On “Peppermint,” she processes the unsatisfying distance of a friend like an overly sweet candy: “Made out of peppermint, all white and red pins/ Pins and needles on my tongue/ It’s not exactly what I wanted.” On “Juniper,” she sings about motherhood and likens the accumulation of knowledge passed down through generations to a garden: “Oh, true blue juniper/ Never got around to asking her/ The difference between weeds and herbs and flowers.” Closer “Fireman” has her imagining what it would be like to date a fireman, the constant danger but also the consistent time off, time that can be better used for nurturing a loving relationship. These songs are mostly about wanting to find a relationship where communication comes easy. Kirby, who was homeschooled and raised in a conservative Christian household, is reckoning with feeling out-of-step with everyone else. She spends a lot of the album hoping to catch up, or at least find someone that’s on her same wavelength. “Secret Language” — which borrows its opening lines from one of the most covered songs of all time, Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” — goes on to wonder: “Do you ever worry that they understand our secret language?” On “Traffic!,” an exuberant standout, she modulates her voice to a digital warble to reflect her alienation: “I’m slipping into an accent/ It’s almost more than a habit/ What are we going to do?/ When I can’t talk straight at you.” Kirby journeys through the album trying to learn not just how to talk at people but talk to them, become less interior and more emotionally open. On the wonderful “Tap Twice,” she starts ... https://www.stereogum.com/2115947/katy-kirby-cool-dry-place-review/reviews/album-of-the-week/
