cutting corners
i try to avoid store bought subjects here on STILL. it throws the whole seasonal rhythm off for me. and the colors never look quite right in my feed. too tropical. too citrusy. too too. BUT, i am still dealing with he 100 square foot hole in my roof (the tree has been removed, but it took two super-sized cranes lift it up and out). so, i am lowering my standards, and bringing you store-bought gerbera daisies. native to south africa and now widely domesticated throughout the world.

I’m sorry to hear of your recent run-in with Nature. I think she should be more respectful, considering the wonderful job you do of honoring her! Alas, sometimes even Mother Nature feels it necessary to slap us in the head to make sure we’re paying attention. I hope all will be well soon in your neighborhood. As to the Gerberas, store-bought or not, they’re lovely.
