I was amazed by the combination of variety and orderliness and prettiness outside the car wash.
I hadn't realized how popular gardening and gardening books are. Witness this book display at a local Barnes & Noble.

There really aren't that many copies of Milosz's poetic work at Cody's. Given that I'm really into his poetry right now, I expect the rest of the world to be in the same state of active engagement. A quick glance at the bookshelf at a local bookstore reveals otherwise.
Update: Lloyd wrote the following to me: "There might be more Milosz volumes at Black Oak Books, actually, in either/both the new and used sections. The folks at Black Oak always had a soft and warm spot for Milosz, who after all was practically the neighborhood poet laureate, living as he did just up the hill on Grizzly Peak Blvd (near my friend Jane's house, where I used to live; I'd occasionally see him when he'd be out walking). "

The picture is a bit blurry, my narcissus is doing ok (so far).
I bought two, one for Laura and one for me. I hope that I have enough of a green thumb to enable mine to flourish. If I don't, is my new year bound to be problematic? I hope not!
