Closers and Spring Flowers

Two comments for NotThat and the Bustiers: Yes, of course The Great BZWZ has a Plotzer cap to stick a feather in.

And speaking of baseball, remember that Brian Wilson is a Beach Boy. Closers are not always perfect and don't last forever. This even applies to Jesus. It is written that before Jesus was the closer he was the set-up man for Moses. Moses had some terrific seasons in the Egyptian League, but after only a millennium and a half he was on his way out and Jesus took over.

Now, of course, this kid Mohammad is getting a lot of publicity. He's already in the high minors and he's said to have a killer fastball.



The beautiful thing about a perennial garden is that flowers appear out of nowhere. Arugula (white flowers) and California poppies (golden unopened buds sticking up in the air -- they'll open in full sun) land wherever they want each spring and bloom when they will look their best.



Alstroalmerias, tall and short, in pinks and purples and whites and reds and yellows, are the best and most trusty flower at World Headquarters. You can't have too many of them, and they grow underground so the patches of flowers get thicker each year.



You probably didn't know that Italian parsley has a flower. Well, it doesn't. A wayward cream colored freesia bulb landed in the herb box a few years ago and we forget about it until it shows up each Spring. And it's just about day lily time.
