Beautiful painting, LLOLLO. Love the hues of blue.
Gertrude Jekyll - bred in 1986 by David Austin. I planted these when i lived in central, IL. Super thorny, two of them outside my bedroom window. One of the top ten most fragrant roses ever bred.
> The quality and intensity of the scent is one that i am inclined to say is intoxicating.
I spent the summer of 78 an exchange student in Iran, and we'd get shaved ice with rosewater syrup poured over it. One whiff of a Gertrude Jekyll bloom takes me right back to that time.
Loving all the rose images!!!
One of my favorite flowers because of the scents, and of course Portland has amazing rose gardens to walk through on a sunny day.
It was announced before the show that TWA had failed to deliver the band's equipment and they were going to borrow the Allman Bros' gear, and first the Allmans would play a set, and then the Dead would play a set, and then they'd Jam together.
Thanks, Judit! Hoping to attend a free painting gathering this eve at The Haven, Portland's new nonprofit art collective and gathering space.
Also supposed to help them as a grant writing volunteer.
I am loving the new image additions to this thread, haven't visited much this week.
Very cool to see Zoners having happy times across the ocean, too.
I'll add my attempt at making quick pickles w/ double dill -- they turned out pretty well.
I like keeping experiments in the fridge!

Teaser Alert: When I said we'll all be there, I meant it. Maybe you didn't catch him before 3/8/73, but you'll see Ronald Charles McKernan at the Jubilee, among others.
Went to a workshop this past weekend called "Writing From The Land" at Entrada Institute in Torrey, Utah. Annette McGivney, Laura Pritchett, and Jonathan Thompson, a favorite of mine. "Sagebrush Empire" is a high recommend and I subscribe to his Substack "Land Desk."
It's a bamboo rod, I fish primarily with split Bamboo and have collected them for 30 years. All except some of my 2 handers and a couple salt rods are cane. The rod today was a Heddon 8.5 foot Black Beauty, my standard rod for the beat behind my house
I don't have any Clay builds, although I have fished one. The only bamboo 2 hander I still have is a British grilse rod 11 footer that I use as a switch rod
fish is a Northern Pike. If you think that's an unusual snout, check out this guy from the day before... more difficult to catch
awkward photo as I'm trying to take a selfie with one hand. This one is a long nose gar and they get quite a bit larger than this guy
What did you think of Clay's rod.i fished with one of his daughters, Kalilie at Harbaughs Goat Ranch on Idaho's Fall River. She designed Patagonia garment and waders. The girl can fish. It's in the genes. Yvon was there too. ''Rope fly? I fished gar down on the Cumberland with Chris Nischan way back.
