There are times when one must simply let life, which can be pretty insistent, take over. So it has been for more than a month now and it looks to remain so for the near future. When I can, I will resume posting but will not go into the identification detail that I usually do. Not, at least, until life eases up some.
Here are two overdue announcements.
- Sally at Foothills Fancy has a put up a great collection of plant posts for Berry Go Round #18. I enjoyed reading her “potluck,” as she called it, awhile back, but today I’ve had the time to follow some of the links and read the originals to which she refers. Do make a visit. It’s an excellent selection.
- More than a year ago I began a project in which I did some online digging about some specimens that Darwin collected and which had been newly re-discovered. The names were completely unfamiliar to me, so I decided to find out what they were and to see whether I could find any mention of each of them in his Voyage of the Beagle. I’m afraid that during this frenzied time I let the domain name for that project – The Accidental Botanist – expire. My plan is to rescue the posts and take them over to WordPress, and when I do so, I’ll announce it here.
So for now, do enjoy your visit at Berry Go Round #18 and leave a comment for Sally.
