As one perfect example of the native prairie response to rain, I give you this completely natural, native clump of Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) growing among the Switch Grass, Indian Grass and Side-Oats Grama common to this area. This clump is right out front as I drive up to home each evening, one clump in a large "rain border" that edges my front yard, welcoming me home. At least it did prior to today when it was still likely light as I came home. From here on to spring, I come home from work in darkness, just one of many hated moments to our loss of daylight savings time.
Though an old gardener, I am but a young blogger. The humor and added alliteration are free.

Time Change, Seasons Change
ProfessorRoush will spare you, this fine November morning, from his usual diatribe about the biannual time change (Fall Back, Everyone!) and the toll it takes on physical health, well-being, and our soul. I maintain my offer, however, to not only vote for but to tirelessly campaign for any party or politician who abolishes it....not who promises to abolish it, but who actually makes it happen. No promises trusted here, please; I don't trust anyone in a position to pander to the public. One might ask, isn't pandering just another word for "begging," but Dictionary.com defines it as (Definition #1) " to cater to or profit from the weaknesses or vices of others." Definition #2 is "to act as a pimp or procurer of clients for a prostitute." I put it to you, is there a better explanation of politicians anywhere?

Thank you for your interest in my blog. I like to meet friends via my blog, so I try to respond if you comment from a valid email address rather than the anonymous noresponse@blogger.com. And thanks again for reading!
