yay! im so glad autumn is coming to brooklyn, btw.

lovely. I love asters. Is that grass with the tassles? I guess it is. I'm so indoctrinated by the Lawn. I love how unruly the grass grows in late summer, pushing up through the cracks in the sidewalks unmowed. Thanks!

jack: 23rd Sep 2005 - 15:28 GMT

grass, thanks i dont have to mow it anymore. sneezing every minute, watery eyes, itchy,scratching, misery of heat and bugs. my wife and children playing happily in the green, dense, lushness of lawn. the dog romping gleefully as one of the children. OH DEAR LORD, BRING BACK THE HAPPY DAYS OF SUMMER. i will miss summer. these pictures are great.

"a lawn is an ecological wasteland": probably my favorite quotation of the year, from some gardening book I read in wintertime. oh, and nice asters, peter; almost painfully purple--a purp walk! (not sure what those tassels are kc, tho by "loose translation", I meant I was being liberal w/ the term "grass". alas.)

how lovely.
and are they the same as cornflowers?

GGP: 23rd Sep 2005 - 18:24 GMT

i believe cornflowers are something different, a more powdery/ethereal blue?

joey: 24th Sep 2005 - 23:35 GMT

the leaves of grass in my california backyard are all dried out and brown. it has been all summer long. only the fennel plants which grow as toll as a nba basketball player are still green.
