Winter masts. Belfast, Maine
Thanksgiving 2022, my family is dispersed to Florida, Maui, New Zealand, DC and NY. I can feel them out there and I’m thankful for them all. Meanwhile here in Maine it’s still a couple hours until dinner with friends — whatever shall I do? (edited with #hipstamatic)
Pursuant to a recent discussion of “fuck” as (I argue) the single greatest word in the English language, I came to this striking passage in a WWII memoir, Helmet For My Pillow by Robert Leckie (a key source for the 2010 miniseries The Pacific):
Phyllostachys angusta, stone bamboo, wintering indoors. It should be hardy here in zone 5 but only arrived in a pot in early autumn, so no time to acclimate. Anyway it seems happy on its skateboard. #bamboo #plants #houseplants #maine
