I always try to buy American grown flowers, but every now and then, some beauty arrives from the Netherlands that I can't resist. Today it was these stunning Anthuriums. They became the showstopper with the gentle, beautiful Mocha Rose and spunky Scabiosa to celebrate an anniversary.

Thirty-six years ago today, Tod and I married on our front porch of the house we still live in on W. Broadway in Granville. That day it was 105 degrees and for many years, if not still, that was record heat. After the ceremony, we all ditched our wedding clothes and headed to Spring Valley Pool to cool off.

The Breadseed Poppy. This striking Poppy just bloomed today in the Artiflora gardens. She’s a beauty!

What an amazing tribute!

This is The Sun Flower Room at the Van Gogh Art Gallery in Amsterdam at the moment. What a tribute to his wonderful paintings of these beauties.

If you’ve never watched pole beans grow to the sky, you haven’t witnessed the magic of gardening.

2:30 p.m. Sunday. There are two young raccoons in the ditch near the intersection of Raccoon Valley and Broadway, closer to the fenced pasture in that stretch of road. No mother seems to be around at least in the last hour and they appear distressed. Is there a wildlife rescue person reading this that can help them? Or do you know of someone?

We are looking for a tile floor person to re-tile a floor. Old tile has been mostly removed. Still working on that but ready to start soon.

Over the past two days, North Korea has sent balloons full of trash over the border to burst on command, dropping all sorts of trash. South Koreans are calling for blasting the border with K-pop music! Go for it!🎈🎈🎈😀😍😀

The local specialty in the small town where we are staying on Jeju Island is the Hairtail fish. We were being particularly braved and ordered it. This long fish was delicious, despite its sharp teeth.

Early this morning we discovered a gathering group of Hanyeos, the woman divers of Jeju Island. They were preparing their gear for diving. Haenyeos are a beloved tradition of mostly “grannies”, elderly Korean women who dive for edible sea creatures without diving gear. These amazing women are able to hold their breath for up to five minutes to gather their sea treasures. My dream on this Korean trip was to encounter them and I did!

On our way to the small fishing village of Wando.

Not being fond of hot spicy foods, I have avoided Kimchi. Now that I’m on Korea, I’ve become a fan. So many types, so many degrees of heat. This is a Kimchi Pancake and it’s delicious!

Today we are in Andong at the Hahoe Folk Village, UNESCO heritage site.

Small kitchens like this one in Andong are the mainstay of Korean cooking. Starting from scratch. And so good!
