I long for a bit of jungliness - shall never forget the shaggy, lush parks of Dessau with their thousand croaking frogs.

It took the longest time for us to figure out what it was for--might have helped if a turtle had ever been on it. (They prefer a long log near the entrance, who knows?) The Banyan tree swallowing up the stone work is remarkable--well, everything looks so lush and exotic. I don't know why it always amazes me to see mandarins and other citrus growing on trees--after all, they have to grow somewhere, don't they? We did have a warm day here today--a little too hot, oddly enough, but at least, in the warmth, there are small signs of things beginning to perk up.Susan Scheidhttp://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
