"Everything has to be done today. Forget yesterday and forget tomorrow. With today, you repair yesterday and you make it possible for yourself to do what is necessary tomorrow." ~ GI Gurdjieff
Good morning. That's a rough blazing star (Liatris aspera) star from our front meadow. We dug it out of the gravel and sand that make the shoulder of County A halfway between here and Stone Lake.
That was 8 years ago. It was due to be mowed. We saved it on the weekend, when the mowing crews were off. Monday, when they fired the machines back up, was its final day.
I couldn't believe it was growing where it was growing. Dry, sandy, rocky soil in heat that radiated off the blacktop. I figured if it could make it there it could make it in the disaster we called our front lawn.
So we loaded up the family, shovel and a plastic ice cream on a Sunday morning and successfully relocated it.
Eight years later I'm on my hands on knees peeling away plants that surround it to get a picture thinking tomorrow is here.
I hope you have a great day!
