In Flanders Fields
By John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly.
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flander...s fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.Read More

Missouri Botanical Garden To everything (turn, turn, turn!), there is a season (turn, turn, turn!)...the ginkgo leaves are golden and gorgeous right now, but I know they too won't last long. Ah, autumn....
Missouri Botanical Garden Don't pitch that pumpkin-compost! It’s a “green” nitrogen source; add leaves for a “brown” carbon source. Smash to help it decay faster.
