flowers for Friday, soundtrack: Bon Iver, Holocene
I took the scenic route today.
Sunflowers.
Mums and cabbages.
Hydrangea.
Arrangements on their way to an event.
A pack of Belgian firefighters.
In my city for 9/11.

Am trying to avoid 9/11 coverage - it's more than I can bear. I'm sure it's even harder for you.
I say: how can anyone not LOVE hydrangeas?
She's not as interesting to me anymore.
9/11: tough this year. It's always hard, but I guess this will be worse.
Been chopping at sunflowers in my neck of the woods, too. Without Belgian firefighters, of course.
I heard a story on the news tonight of an Australian contingent of firefighters in NYC. It was one of the first pieces of coverage I have not immediately turned off. I don't know, for some reason the coverage this years seems gratuitous, macabrely intrusive, commercial.
Also, the two little boys are noticing it this year - asking about it. Seeing their faces see that footage over and over. 'Some bad people did a very terrible thing and lots of people died. It made all of us very very sad, and it changed the world forever.'
And I ADORE hydrangeas. How could you not? Did you see the Madonna footage? No class that woman, no class.
