leadbelly

these morning glories cover the railing to our porch, they are beautiful and invasive, they get their name because they open in the morning.  can we have too much beauty? when will this beauty reach a point that i will have to tear it down? should i wait until the flowering season ends when the plant is uglier? i read a book once that informed me that the seeds of this plant hold the same compound of LSD and in fact they cover the commercial seeds with poisin so that this drug cannot be extracted.  supposedly since the 60's people have been growing and saving their own seeds  that are chemical free.  should we regulate what nature provides?

  1. Nice to see again--and good thoughts. This one is better in real life at the big size!!! (Usually reproductions make things tauter...) Can I ask you (for next week) to do your presentation on Spirituals and Gospel? That will fit in just right...
