I don't see this type of grouping too often. Midwesterners are generally a bit more reserved and this sort of planting could get the neighbors talking. It was kind of a jolt when I first saw it, and I'm still not sure I'd want to look at it every day, but it is definitely interesting.

Are you getting some much needed rain in the NW? I recall you mentioning it was quite dry in the Seattle area, and the fires in Oregon sound horrible. The hurricanes get the news coverage, but the Western fires are also wreaking havoc.

the weirder the better.. for me ..

it surely makes a statement ... though.. apparently.. what that is.. eludes some of us.. lol ..

No rain to speak of yet. We had a slight drizzle Friday am but nothing to get excited about. The smoke from the wildfires has been terrible - there is a big one burning just over the mountains from Seattle. It has been giving me a headache for days and there is a light coating of ash everywhere. But of course much worse for those living in that area. At least the rain and the onshore winds that brought it have reduced the layer of smoke.........I could almost see across the Sound yesterday. Haven't been able to do that for a couple of weeks!

No just more cowbell!

weeper not reaper

Don't fear the weeper? Fellas, I gotta have more cowbell. That's one of the classic SNL skits.
