An Aging Beauty
On Monday Tulip preened, glowing in the sun . . .
Then heartless Time had his way with her,
Stripping her rosy petals
One by one.
Aha! I have (I think) solved the problem of the disabled comments! Thanks to you who emailed to alert me to the problem. I'll hope to come blog visiting this evening -- but am off to the garden just now.
Hi Vicki, Lovely dropped petal photo. Your tulip was on my mind yesterday, along with the blooms I brought into my own space when I posted about the brevity of beauty. Or the brevity of some specific manifestations of beauty--makes spring all the more....
Many of the years I lived in the Arctic I rushed spring by buying and planting bulbs to bloom indoors--tulips were my favorites.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

I sympathise with your Tulip. You should see what time has done with my hair!
Those pics are awesome..

Alas, Martin, Time has been unkind to me too.
