I live on a very short street in a small but growing city, and after 19 years here my house number was changed from 7 to 9 because two new-old houses went up in an empty lot. Now another lot is being bulldozed.

Is it edible? I dunno. And right now there's nothing to photograph. However, there definitely is something you can do with hollyhocks just for fun, just one time: you can pluck off a big blossom, turn it upside down, and pretend it's a lady in a fancy ball gown.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003779.post-89311889802887529842007-01-25T05:44:00.000-05:002007-01-25T05:44:00.000-05:00I love this post - the variety of life that used t...I love this post - the variety of life that used this tree is amazing!

We once put a big bow window in our living room to let the sun in one side of the house. The first day we noticed the beautiful blossoming cherry tree we could see out the window. The very next week it blew down in a wind storm.<br /><br />Andrew (<a href="http://lovehonoranddismay.blogspot.com/">To Love, Honor, and Dismay</a>)Andrew McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210761023973607515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003779.post-40047045599363180172007-01-24T18:18:00.000-05:002007-01-24T18:18:00.000-05:00We are very lucky to have the farm to look out at ...We are <i>very</i> lucky to have the farm to look out at instead of a Walmart (which they are building in a similar field two miles down the road). This farm, which is owned by two rather elderly bachelor farmers, made it into a state farmland preservation program a few years ago, and all of the neighbors are just plain delighted that it won't go the way of most of the other farms around us for at least 98 years. It gives me a huge mental boost to look out over that field several times a day, whether it's fallow or corn, soybeans, or wheat.Sandy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08650640470141210550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003779.post-3082883033133881382007-01-24T17:57:00.000-05:002007-01-24T17:57:00.000-05:00Ode to an elm tree.
