I feel like I’ve been neglecting this blog lately.  It’s not by choice; I’m back in the busy-ness of teaching, which has swallowed up my attention and energy, and  I’ve also been finishing up a big-and-fun writing project (you’ll hear more on that soon).  I hope normal blogging will resume shortly.
But for now, I offer you some pretty pictures of flowers. Â Enjoy these last few weeks of summer, and don’t forget to pause and smell the roses.
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us. Â — Iris Murdoch
