“The Sun had two wives, Frog and another woman. At that time, the Sun moved across the sky so very hot that the people were nearly killed by the heat. They did not like this state of affairs. For that reason Coyote called a council of all the people; he knew Sun did not love Frog and would not invite her to come, so he begged her to come to the council and obey what Sun told her to do.

So he went and stood at the door, and said 'My husband, where am I to sit?' and he told her, 'Here, on my eye.' Then she advanced a few steps and jumped up to his eye; and the people tried to pull her off, but could not. And Coyote told the Sun, 'You are acting badly for a chief'; and Coyote decided that Sun should become the night sun [Moon], and that the Moon should become the Sun. So the irregular one is now the Moon, and the frog is seen over his eye.” ; from Nez Perce Coyote Tales. The Myth Cycle. (ed. Walker Jr., Matthews, -94;'The Sun and the Moon')

Because from everybody seems of read Chomsky to quite a lot, last decades, I also took a few books on loan (and read them.) Albeit, of course, I actually had read this below referred one already for priorly. (Although, not on any very good in time, supposin', that it could've been around the 2010, maybe.) Anyway, I viewed that by this more recent from no particular purposes, but just for reminders of that millenium-time period. The book A new generation draws the line. Said it published by 2012, but seems most from original portions were been wrote already by the y. 2001'; ...Among other aspects, there was then commented at the latter conclusive chapter, 'Human rights in the new millenium' (;p. 159-60), on a then popular new 'doctrine' R2P (Responsibility to protect), by a time a 'topic of substantial literature', on followingly: ”... We may recall Gandhi's response to the question of what he thought about Western civilization. He's alleged to have said Ìt would be a good idea.` And the same holds of R2P. It would be a good idea. ...But then the usual problems arise. Just what is R2P, and when does it apply? ...” [the italics...'suppose, by us.]

...Then it goes for those apparent contradictions at the said interpretation cultivated, 'popularized' maxim on the new “global” politics - that so called R2P ..., think I need not go on the details. ; My enbriefed view only, that these days too, one probably does well of little reminded from those incidents discussed. And, of the Gandhi's expressed words – whether that then intentioned or 'unintentioned' from said, by the time, in the circumstances it originates to. How thought's awakening that response to a idea of the Western civilization. I've often come by to the resemblant questioning views, on that some self-evident kept 'axiom', some 'self-evident' acc those long-held views about the history at these corners of the World. (...of it's 'primarity', to be of 'first importance'. ; Btw, almost wrote that, of accidentally, as '...these cronies of the World' :) ; And the book every manner recommended, of course, reminder on that period before the 'emergence' to a larger global crisis, and the episodes from prior those early century oil-wars. (...Some more acquainted to Chomsky's writings, might perhaps find a chance to offer an interested something more recent, from to have a look about. But on the book(s) there too, fx – quite a lot. – Like on those episodes of the period, appears it for discuss to some 'case-examples' of the time the East timor and Kurdistan. Also those compared for, with Kosovo. Past histories now, maybe, but not from left aside the mention.)

; But briefest, the said fewsome 'recollections', sort from, only at begins of the other topics on this post.

The main part, at this post, then combines of remainders for my recent Summer cultivated perennials. Or, some from most notable. Plus, then is the other plants and trees for equally compact and 'depact' from described. Some words on the animals and on other 'creatures' too (Understand that from how you wish...) And then is also a few paragraphs, some pages worth devoted on other aspects. Some from (that) on the historical personnels. 'Decently' and impartially. Nothing from that for very established views, nothing to very far comprihesive of said.

“... Society, perhaps, called any man mad who was not suffering from the general madness.  These kind of thoughts piled up insensibly in my mind."

 ; (Mdme Roland); from 'Memoirs...', p. 1795.

The 'Mumblin madnesses...', or, Stories about the likehoods from, and kinds of, the morality, honour that we're long ago, most part, well lot distanced us, about, from...

 ; On Mdme Roland I actually wrote a few bits'n'pieces in addit this. More in precise, concepted from about the few pages lenght for more detailed my estimates on. But it's practically beyond my any efforted, established interests from. 

 

[The Pic: ...Shows the, likely, the most usual, common of the drawings for Mmde Roland's portraiture on many 1800s histories, books w. their subject on French Revolution. Bit sentimentalising, romantised, lookin' out from the prison window. - ...Like you'd guess, also not very much of any likehood for near resemblance to few 'actual' portraits. ; ...Thenagain, it's perhaps the most descriptive to represent of her 'myth', and, perhaps also about it's 'reality'. At least I find that childhood portrait even more suspectable for to present to this, given it would unavoidably add to even more for that sentimentalist 'pile'...In the light from now (many) emotional 'constraints' that seem of, ever since, 'inframed' her Memoirs, or 'that story' about herself. (; The drawing from via Winegarten (2003);  p. 63.)
 

...At least (is) quite beyond any means, to this, nor wouldn't it been very practical, of this short, from to try estimate about her actual motives and persona to the more specific. (This means not of goin' for deny that the prior presented remarks – such as above one – or, 'witty' observation that fills the 'Memoirs' wouldn't be very interesting, rewarding by itself.) Only that that Shuckburgh-edition, which I read, of the 1980s, seemed – sort of, to the usual common Briton carefulness of combined bit selective sort – And only in the little side-mention seemed it's introduction to tell from about some 'portions' of the original text are been left out; on 'some characters and descripts' (that) '...not of interest for the modern British reader'.

Well, I'm then from bit less certain of how one best would interpretate such an expression. Anycase, reading from the text left me the impression that my any view on Roland (Mdme) that, likeliest, wouldn't much changed. (Had the excluded parts been on that.) Only from resultant wondered (a little) whether those remarks on the more “low level”-folks of time, references for those 'fish-wives', and alike, would've been on the said parts. Nor, sounds that for anyhow very 'unusual' on that age, esp. the said years, the class society, etc...from considering. ; But, of having learned to cultivate some good level suspicion towards any 'expurgated'-editions of that type, of prior having encountered several of the sort from that 1980s, I can't still avoid little wondering how those 'remains' then would've shown her deliberation of to be viewed, about. Would the self-portrait about of remained for quite so...uniform. Supposin', still that any “digging deeper” wouldn't necessary added anything from too much important on that. So, I left it 'lay'...

; To the later idolization that – slight reserved, but mostly appreciative – posthumous image seems then held for it for the 'firm' and 'unshaken' that her commitment for the original ideals of Revolution was ever so strong than it trasmits via those memoirs. (Written only during her last Months in life.) Many later writers to the Revolution histories then more often than not seemed of given her courageous death almost some 'halo' in the making from it's postafter 'martyrdom'. ...Some of the newer criticism, or more modern history writes, seems it perhaps, might've given more emphasizes on her political role, from had acted “behind the desk”, or held the 'pen' – from how it maybe often also is expressed. ; Whatever the various views...Seems it for always for recognized, that her death w. those immortalising words spoken, would've possibly not left any w. slightest sense of dramatic from untouched by.

...From the contemporaries, the first-hand impression on, perhaps, must've been bit more varied. Or so I just guess... ; Chateaubriand's memoirs have some impressions that are at least slightly descriptive to that reception – While it for the postafter impressions too, written only on 1820s, 1830s. (...'Though he also says of not ever from had met her personally.) – And therefore maybe it's only because those usual 'chauvinisms', that'd to appear some reason for us from relate his few remarks to this. (Like said I not very particularly having bothered observe, view those incidents, details on.) ; ...Chateaubriand too acknowledges to her merit those heroic traits that fx Carlyle and Taine then later chose for cultivate and maybe overt reminded to their readers. – Strictly faithful on the limits permitted to image about an 'exceptional' woman in revolutionary period. That 'heroism' of hers proper for show of best qualities on that Revolutionary 'momentum', the best 'part' from to had died out w. her 'party'. W. the obvious contrast for the cruelties by that feared Jacobinism and it's 'side of the coin'.

(The major changes, incl. the major social renewals from the time, by then, to his own times, from becom the recent history. Still influential, but things of the past.)

...Of Chateaubriand, one can at least note him to avoid most of the sort heroisations, and sentimental posthumous worship, that two former mentioned seem taken to some extreme. ; Namely, Chateaubriand, on his narrative, gives for her persona the followin ambiguencies:

“...16th of June 1792. ...I heard much talk of Madame Roland, whom I never saw: her Memoirs show that she possessed an extraordinary strength of mind. She was said to be very agreeable: it remains to be known whether she was sufficiently so to make at all tolerable the cynicism of her unnatural virtues. Certainly the woman who, at the foot of the guillotine, asked for pen and ink to describe the last moments of her journey, to write down the discoveries she had made in the course of her progress from the Conceciergerie to the Place de la Révolution, that woman displayed an absorption in futurity, a contempt for life, of which there are few examples. Madame Roland possessed character rather than genius: the first can give the second, the second cannot give the first.” ; 'Memoires L'outre Tombe' (Vol II, Book VII.)

Much of Chateaubriand's 'undermeriting' maybe traceable to his religious devotion, for that 'Genie du christianisme'. But the sort chauvinism, esp., is also rather characteristically 1800ian. Fx, it seems presented on those notices of disaproval on such 'unwomanly traits'; 'a contempt for life', 'character rather than genius' ; ...'strength of the mind' (- not for any talent). ; That one remark about 'unnatural virtues' leaves the reader from more only guessin' what he'd meant by that: The untolerable aspect from those last Months unmarital affair w. 'Buzet' (, guess?, was that the name by...) Or, if (that) then reads as a condemnation on her shown general indifference, on the point of death, to those principes from salvation on manner from 'via' the religious sacraments – Some probably were denied of those then executed anyway. Or, was there more unnatural then, at her devotion instead, some meant for 'immortalizing' herself (, her memory) in the eyes of the oncoming generations? (Something not very proper conduct for woman either, which Chateaubriand might've felt to envied? Esp. from cons that the Memoir is, indeed, very well written, while it more or less scattered from unavoidably.)

...But leaves for impression, he wouldn't been very allowin'/wasn't much tolerant on an idea about offering her a place amongst the revolutionary male heroics. (Some that he must've had of noted, in the postward view, unavoidable seen to emerge.) And therefore, only so few words on. Chateaubriand's critiques towards some 'revolutionary monsters' then are almost as bitter condemning than some put aforth by the other (some forementioned) 1800s historians on their time. Whatever the view about others - monsters and heroes; virtues or not, the dishonorable deed no doubt - All that only very apparent shows what prevailed the view about her at those 1800s posthumous writings. - That the sex mattered. (Which of course not anyhow surprises.) But Mdme Roland, kind of, seems for raised in the 'spotlight' for some 'counter image' to the lack of virtue of his (many) downplayed 'comrades', of course. Pretty much like de Staél later on, but not w. her all-prevailing achievements, hence the 'targeted' emphasize to her 'unnatural' virtues, and not so much on her Memoirs. Which, weren't published but on an 'enshortened', censured form until at...1906? (, was it? Or from later on...) 

[Beside pic; ...Of Frank Stack's 'Amazons' - the 1980s comics album.]

Despite from all the former said (on Chateaubriand), I wouldn't still judge his persona from too harsh, anyway. Sometimes his observances are remarkably useful for any reader to these histories. ...I mean, one can at least consider many his 'witnessing' from the incidents from some reliability. He can create quite good descriptive 'scenes', though we possibly can't quite estimate about what an amount his aristocratic nostalgics emphasize some of those. ; Also, in more than one level his writing seems from resemble that of the Rousseau. But, near not achieves the same literary 'flow', not appears near so original to his views to the most part.

All in all Chateaubriand's writing (on his own memoirs) I think generally more reliable than some perhaps those some above mentioned. By nowadays meaning, w. some historical 'realism' in glance for observed. – He also can provide some evidence of his own eyes. (While all is, not a little, interpretations sort for nostalgising viewer lookin' towards his 'ruined' youth. Aristocratic birth not from unforgotten.) ...That said, he also makes it plain clear enough from remarking of his own distaste towards an absolutist monarchism. And at least establishes himself to a 'moderate' aristocrate on during those years. ; ...And, btw, there's on earlier at that expressed (This particular sentence from a 'Sidenote, Paris 1792.'), the following: 'Thenceforward Madame Roland demanded the head of the Queen, until such time as her own head should be demanded by the Revolution.' ...Which should be quite accurately(?) given, since Mdme Roland said from been amongst the earliest of Revolutionaries to had wished the deaths from the Bourbons, due from the injustices and a 'betrayal' of the peoples. ; But let us end these glances on this short: Not of very keenly searched the other sources, like was said. Not meant of to offer anything especielt or 'genuine' a view w. this. Just a...few observations. (To be honest, I already lost most from my interest on...)

-------------------- 

[Photo, beside: ...of to show that the honey bees tend visit my garden(s) too,

 here then a pic from. At some of my garden flowers, don't recall this it's name.)

“In recent years, something has puzzled me. There's a bright blue sky in April and the fruit trees are blossoming, and yet there are no bees to be seen. The only ones out making the most of the enourmous array of flowers on offer are the bumble-bees, which set of to collect nectar as soon as the temperature rises above 9'C. The young apple trees promised a rich harvest last Spring, but I was seriously worried about the lack of pollinators. I quickly bought two bee popularions to help out. Later (now as a more informed beekeeper) I learned that bees only leave the hive at temperature above 12'C. So, I should have simply waited for warmer weather; then wild bees or honeybees would have flown in from nearby.”

; (Wolhleben), The Weather Detective. Rediscovering Nature's Secret Signs (; 2012, p. 20.)

...Wohlleben's natural books seem gotten for quite popular, no need of me from provide any their adverting here. But appears it give us some chance to relate from a few aspects that'd happen gotten at my recognisation, too. (Or just for some ecological 'stories' here, all the sorts for.)

Here one even much doesn't come to think for achieving any honeybees to some serving aids at the pollination. (Although, from that purpose – ecologically it only slight questionable practice anyway – But seems now for some time those been held in the uses at the fields here too, esp. on some where they cultivate turnip rape.) ; Yet, They don't survive winters here, so one wouldn't consider the ecological consequences of that too much from compromising – until maybe now more recently. (Making it still possible to turn out some issue in the futures.) But, I also then regularly see those to arrive on the apple- and plume-trees on beside the house, while I don't have any specific idea of how far from. Apple (and that Plume) flowerin' here only about late May/early June, when there usual tend be also other pollinators in air – Those Bumble-bees mostly, of course. Those too, to their lot more plentiful than other bees, apparently (?), of tend maintain somewhat more 'limited ranges' from their flight distances to any places nectar sources. Or, actually w. all my 'hobbying' on those, I'm actually not too sure - maybe tem instead have the wider range? (Don't know.)  ...But, one wouldn't feel too concerned from. Only that lately I've noted of gotten wondering those aspects. 

; Photo (below), ...Happens that not long after on finding recent post described, old, majestitetic birches trunks, I almost immediately walked to this sight. May be a little difficult from notice of the photo, it's dim, but it has the larger hole near below on trunk, near the grounds. ; The decomposing, decaying wood matter is the 'life for many' forest species, they say. ; But interestingly, this a typical example - albeit rare, on that this too of rather large tree - of a tree that would be suffering some it's old age, yet it remaining at still partly growing, despite the rot and decay having started affect it alrady lot formerly. Actually, I've noted that also birch can grow surprisingly successively while already bit 'hit' by that. ; But why the additional birch-pics on this depiction? - Well, see the following few too...  

; ...Another important issue mentioned - Much as I've been able of notice too, or what I find from interesting – appears be what he says on reasons for the several animals of become to the nightly species. Not by their own ('natural') habit, but of because from an adaptation to the human created pressures on them. (etc.) It may hold quite a lot of the truth. For example, while many species we have gotten more used (common) of seeing seeing only during night-time; Foxes, rabbits, frogs and alike, perhaps – However, any – or, 'majority', say - from those don't any manner necessarily seem from nocturnal. Within some years, or centuries times and so on, them just must've adapted to such lives, nearby to these urban settlements, habitations – etc. On my locality the most usual are sightings of any times nearer the evening, night, when that human activity often less. (...As a funny detail, I often walk in the mornings beside the few Thuja-trees, nearby house too, and recent several times I've then 'woken up' a rabbit of it's nightly cover and hidin' under the twigs. But likely, that aspect has the ecological adaptations too – To these kind localities the foxes maybe are far less endaring from during their nightly 'ventures' to reach the places where the human habitations are more usual. At least I can't imagine any other reason it to favor the place. Unless from the extra warmth by the housewall. ; Anycase that's still less likely to assume for a wild, or 'semi-wild' animal to risk due that for the constant human contact. To some downside related to, are those rabbits increased attacks on the fruit (and other) trees here. (The more recent increases about these urban rabbits, whose increase consists from some the 'pet-escapees' and likely the mixed offsping by those.) Not unusual even before, but their numbers seem steadily rised. That also because from the warmed winters, and generally the lesser of snows, by recent.

; ...Doesnt anyway feel at all to an unlike idea from – About those foxes, rabbits, even deers of having had to become adapted from avoid most human activity, during the day-time. By some centuries time from. And it certainly imaginable also from having become of being passed on their 'genes' too. Not necessarily as any too 'permanent' trait, but as some their 'favored' practices.

(...Has to do w. the history from our cultures too. From Inca-empire it's fx said that the Llamas, and few near species, were kept not as domesticated species, but lived within the human cultural ranges, 'freely'. Only once in the year, stricly acc the rules by religious 'cycle' of the year, them were from captured and some enslaughtered to the foods. Resultant the animals not had to learned from becoming very wary of humans and also human cultures must've 'operated' in complete different principles, on what comes to the co-existant natural life. That species naturally may have been the more easy for adapted that manner than several others would. From 'partly' domesticated, sort of.)

; Photo (beside right); ...However, almost directly after (photographing that latest descibed 'birch-fööt') I was a bit amazed from having this next to my sight. A forest God? Or a bearded elf? ...Anyway, closer inspection seemed confirm it's 'outer appearance' from the below twigs of a Spurce growing there. ...I didn't so much follow  the direction it seemed for pointing to - As I was in bit of a hurry, only wondered why it might've wanted to advice me for go to that direction.. (A bit after explained).  

It seems mentioned of an estimable that 80 per cent from the animal offspring usually perishes during their first year at Nature. From after that, during the followed years, to most species their chances of survival in the Nature grow somewhat steep. (Depending on, of course, what the regular 'gap from years', any species might from usual live. Fx, on the eagles and many predative birds the life-expectancy at least up to 25 y. while from the voles and some smaller mammals it only maxim to 1-2 years.) 

; Additionally, from gardening concerned, seems there of mentioned about that same aspect we've often noted, that the native plants to be a more favorable a choice concerning any variety species you might wish from see. - So, fx, despite that Buddleja, is of mentioned (in that George, below cited) from to tempt lots from the butterfly species (The 'Butterfly-bush' such as it's one common name and to the most usual garden-spec said Buddleja davidii...), it isn't all the way near as good a choice of the overall diversity from considering, than many native shrubs would. (...Albeit, I have not that for any problem of choice. Doesn't survive here, past any frosts and colds of the winters.) While, anycase, I of course have the lots from other introduced perennials, some shrubs too...

; ...But, the detail I meant from write to this a fewsome words, actually was inspired by this:

”If you want to help baby animals, the best way is to have a natural garden with ecological niches; that is, pockets of wilderness. By avoiding the use of chemicals and having some areas uncut or untended, you will give many young animals the best chance of surviving their first year.” (; 146)

But yes...This was to discuss of some incident about seein' some (wild) baby animals. ; Happens...It was, about, maybe couple years ago in the early of Summer (possibly June). I had a sack of some pine bark and other ´scraps´, meant to be used as the surface cover spread for the berry-bushes – W. the idea for it keepin the ground-moistures, an' what other meant reasons to. (I have some usual garden blueberries and gooseberries.). ...Happened then to leave that sack open in the garden. - Notably, nearby the housewall which was of comforably warmed a place already that early Summer season. Then went for to some my other tasks and forgot the bag completely. For about some days, or maybe weeks a time (Or?, t0 two weeks time even.) Thenafter, I noticed having smtgh to do on elseplaces where I also have a number from these flowers and cultivations. - About a half km distance apart.

; So, I thought from to need the sack for spread under the hawthorn-hedges, put the garden-gloves on, picked bag and then walked the place. Arriving there, I for the first moment poured the whole lot from to the corner from hedges. - Imagine my surprise then, from discover that of that pile a mouse 'hopped' away in the uttermost hurry. (...It really hopped, like a kangaroo. - Seems, surprisingly then, give the impression it would've been Mus musculus, the 'regular' species, house mouse. Them said capable of jumpin some distances. That case, you might find my following mentions on threats about disease...to slight exaggerations.) But, of course that wasn't all about that incident. From little after lookin´ after my surprisement the pile - What did I see? Of course, baby mice(s), maybe about from 3 to 5. Practically newborn, and apparently blind still. (At least not much capable for any movement on their own.) I was, of course, quite confused from what to do about them; Imagined that the mother wouldn't return for the babies mouses as long as I was there around, or nearby. Then, on the other hand, if Id just leave there was no any guarantee either that that would would turn out for any good solution for the problem. (I later read that the mouse have here some about plus over 3 broodings during the spring-summer seasons, so the loss wouldn't been that great - Yet, it felt unpleasant an idea to leave them just there, and walk away.) ; So, for some first precautions, I considered that them mostly would need warmth and same time cover of the warmest sunshine. So I decided to remove those a bit more shaded covers, under a wooden lift-carriage, which I had left closeby. On edges on the garden, shaded by those hawthorns. 

 

Took the small shovel I had for the tasks - Having read sometime before the whole lot about the black death (,the disease, esp destructive during Middle-Ages), that was historically spread by the rats... :) ; Plus, then all more the (imaginable) routes the bacterias could transfer from me to them (or, vice versa)... ; So I didnt touch those even though I had the gloves in hands, but removed them very carefully w. that shovel to the place. Did put on below some of that peeled bark, since they seemed to be quite satisfied on that. Then I also added some cut grasses from around them as some extra warmth, in case it got colder during night. Finally I closed the hiding by adding some loose pieces of woods over the place, plus tried make sure that there was not any larger entrance for the ´nest, except about the size from a mouse could go. (I was quite realizing that whether the cats or some other predatives, crows fx, were around, them likeliest would easily smell the small prey and bye bye then.) Also, I was thenafter glancin from the nature books that those broodlings get for their own in about 10 to 14 days. From considered that them must've been nearly a week old, at least didnt look too small after all, so estimated then I'd only need from help them stay alive to some weeks a time. Concerned, I also then decided add beside that 'built nest´ some pieces of the sunflower seeds, plus some smaller cut hays. (Even if them weren't as yet eatin' any.) Left that then overnight and happens that I didn't have time from check that during the very next day, but only on a day after. Well, it also happened - had been recent raining, so I just didnt come to think about that earlier – that from returning to the place I realized it had been gettin warmer during most from the day. Unfortunately, I hadn't provided any water on that place, so despite my 'arrangements' them could've now quite well gotten from dehydrated. (I wasn't quite aware whether they could've drank the water, likeliest were still from unweaned - Blind still such as them seemed to be. But, anycase, some water probably was the necessity and I could provide that at least for to help them survive past the crucial  few days.) Came around then and checked about, but, discovered them were all gone.

; Photo (beside right); ...On a walk, not very later (maybe few weeks after), I then was able to come by this enchanting sight - In the direction pointed for me by that 'creature' from above mentioned. Or a 'form' seen, imagined at those Spruce twigs. ; ...Just some other amongst my captiving, exhilariting nature encounters. The photo from a trunk of a dead-wood birch, decorated w. plenty of the bracket fungi. (Place was some of the most rich in moisture, undisturbed mosses, etc., the best parts from the Natures on these woods, or anywhere to my nearby localities.) ; Call the whole described episode a coincidence...If wish. :)

; ...To this day I'm then not anyhow sure of whether those had been taken by some predator, although that seemed unlike - Nothing at the ´nest´ had been removed and I had carefully covered it's entrances. The only other possibility was that the mother had returned after all and brought them to the more safe place. At least it felt to me for bit more likely, because those sunflower seeds I had left, were also disappeared. (The cut grasses were still there.) Not from having any better knowledges about their fate, I then just hoped it from turned that way.

By anycase, that felt then to quite an exiting little encounter on the garden. Only one amongst some such encounters, of course...The new-borns also appearing always from quite so heart-melting, in case you happen to have the chance of see some very recent born. Something very especielt, no matter what the species you might see from. All species aim from protect their offspring. Or, their 'privacy' too, you'd conclude. (Some also fx leave the newborns in particular from unguarded but 'hidden', etc...) ; Obviously, from that most are born from very helpless (Some, would say innocent - But I somehow prefer not that word.) ; ...Supposin', that people who have some domestic animals, or maybe pets, maybe get to more used on such sights. You sometimes can see the adverts like: 'Given away so-and-so many small kittens, (fx,) from about 18 days old', etc... Yet, I had not often, or even from anytime formerly seen some (wild) baby animals, and, also not of having any pets. 
 

; ...But that was about the most from this incident from to mention. 'Guess the foremost reason told from, was to reminders for never leave the plastic sack open at garden. Or, for the comforting from my conscience w. a thought that hopefully it all turned from their best. And if not, well, at least I tried to do something to their saving.

----------

; ...Then, from just mentioned: (Along w. those urban-rabbits,) I've lately also lot more often seen the White-tailed deers here on my walks around. Can't imagine much any other reasons for that, except that the winter's gotten so much warmer and more of those survive the critical first years. (Although, not seen from any very close-by for these human habitats. The larger nearwoods, on somewhat midst these urban habitats maybe the nearest where. But, because to my some walks around the more distant nearby forest range, I happen know some of the places, which those likeliest often populate. And I tend have made many sightings, on during the brightest day-light too.)

Now, more lately (just recently on jogging), saw particularly large one - Likely it must've been buck then, though supposin' only. – (Was) passing the road, only about some 5-10 meters distance before me, as I arrived to the place. Didn't seem from to be on any hurry, not seemed from goin' for to ran away, either. Although, it clearly seemed of to keep little watch on my doings. (Sometimes, elseplaces, I've seen of them in the greater numbers too, 3 to 6 specimen from together, nearby the road or forest paths.) ; Don't know what the best/likeliest explanation from it's behaviours then. Felt a little strange, 'cause more usual the smaller ones just spurt away of sight. ...Maybe the larger bucks from aren't near similarly vary about the human proximity – Even that you'd by any sense assume it from to be more for the contrary. But it didn't seem from seek any cover. ; ...But then a funny thing about, was also that little after I happened of read from the Nez Perce Myth-cycle ('stories', oral-narrative tradition), and according to (that) creation-tale, the White-tailed was on first tame. But then came around the Coyote and annoyed from that behaviour, it decided to show it's genitals for a White-tailed. It got thenafter to a more difficult for approach. (Or, so the tale says. :) Also is then remarked about that resultantly, 'Only those who are prepared properly have the chance to kill them.' ; ...But maybe that story indeed, would tell something rather important about this animal, of it's real nature and spirit. Often to recognize something like those characteristics tends take some amount time. Also, you often discover every story to have it's place. I mean...like most creation 'myths', it succeeds from capture something essential. Whatever the meaning by that encounter for me – I was rather impressed from, I didn't even happen to think them do grow that large.

; Interestingly, all these recent sighting, - here by nearby, and at the adjacent woods, then maybe appear tell them must adapted feel (relative) safe from the most natural predators here, too. (Which are also, in general, somewhat more scarce than at any 'natural conditions' those would.) White-taileds also introduced species here. So, likeliest – we would assume – that then could explain them having gotten somewhat more 'tame' in time too. However not explains to me this particular one encounter, anyhow...

The same reason it at least earlier seem said of had gone through the more unstable variances on population(s). Maybe them then are now also gettin' for the more adapted. Yet, I do think, the major reason to their from increased here, might have to do mainly w. climates warming. (Unlike fx the boars in Germany, that the Wohlleben remarks to had increased, esp., from due their popularity in being hunted from, and that reason the humans providing them extra feeding at Natures.) The recent years must've appeared of considerably more favorable to those animals (deers) for their offspring surviving winters than before. Maybe them in some time could then even emerge to some sort nuisance, just those those city-rabbits by present. But, in constrast, them not quite similarly 'adapted' on colds, probably - So any more harsh winter to likeliest results for quick 'crash' at their numbers. ; ...Of course, one aspect from obviously affecting here, so I figure out, might've been that the built environments and traffic routes likely now more limiting the paths them can use of to pass for their favored places of stay – So them are more often to be seen from moving between some their favored places here, some from more undisturbed and suitable habitats to. That reason to...them consequently just more often then must pass by those few spots of my sightings, lately.

; Photo (below); ...for the identity of this day-time discoverable moth I have two sorts latin names - So I don't make any guessin from ; ...Funny p-o-w, if the former noted for correct (latin name 'Callistege mi'), then it - acc.

“Nettles are mean competitors. They grow thickly and quite tall, casting a dense shadow. Only those plants that grow through and over them stand a chance. They like soils rich in phosphates. They also mark where man has been. In the highlands of Scotland you can range for miles over mountain and moor and see not a single nettle, but find a croft abandoned hundreds of years ago and the nettle will be there.

Nettles are also the foodplant of four of the most colourful garden butterflies the Small Tortoiseshell, the Peacock, the Red Admiral and the Comma. Each has a slightly different approach to the nettle bed. … “ ; “The four Nymphalids – the nettle feeders – also wander the countryside. The Small Tortoise and Peacock males are morning travellers. In the afternoon they establish territories, waiting for females. The Peacock male you see this afternoon in your garden will probably not be the same one you saw yesterday afternoon.

The Comma males are more likely to keep the same afternoon territory. …

This wandering lifestyle is the main reason why these butterflies are the commonest garden butterflies. They come for the rich sources of nectar. But other species of butterfly are real stay-at-homes. Some are restricted to tiny pockets of land where their foodplants grow. Other will move short distances to similar habitats nearby. The commoner of these species, in warm years especially, will often come into gardens to nectar. Without the right foodplants they will only be visitors and soon return to their favoured meadow or wood environment. But it is possible to create habitats for some of these butterflies which will encourage them to stay in the garden.” ; (Andrew George), The Butterfly Friendly Garden. Make your garden the perfect place for butterflies. Alphabet and Image (2007 ; 48,56-7.)

“..., the modern era begins with Christopher Columbus five hundred years ago. Christbearing Dove, as his name goes in English, brought the four horsemen of the Apocalypse west along with Satan, the Cross, and the Inquisition. After sojourning on island he names Espânola (Santo Domingo) on the eastern edge of the Caribbean, he abducted some local people and returned whence he came to get reinforcements. Within handful of years, the thriving population of the New Eden he had stumbled upon was reduced by many millions. They did not succumb to superior European war technology, nor to superior force of faith, but in superior disease. [footnote on this, is to Brandon (1974) ]” ; “... A shift of such magnitude [...means 'transformation' of 'feminine orderings to masculine arrangements', from what concerns the religious systems, the deities] required a corresponding movement of all intelligences within ritual system. [...] In another of those strange twists of ritual plot, not only precious metal [ie; gold] went east. ...In the universe of power, all transactions proceed in directions more than one.

[...] The notion of taboo violation as causative of illness may seem strange to modern minds, but it is no stranger than avoidance of racioactivity, toxic chemicals, or disease-bearing environments of all sorts. If one violates any of these strictures, disease is likely to ensue. ...

This argument is not case of 'blaming the victim' – an accusation easy to make and difficult to dispute when the politics of our situation is so dreadfully confused and diseased. We native people are certain disease is a symptom of spiritual disorder, but whether than disorder is the fault of the sufferers is another matter entirely. Indeed, there are powerful arguments advanced in the Indian community that many of us suffer from a variety of immune system disorders and other chronic debilitations because we are earth's children [; One could, present day, to some level, entertain a view from 'aren't were all', to this...], and as she endures monstrous patriarchal abuse, we suffer as well, sharing in her pain and disease and in that way ameliorating its devastation and bringing some respite to her.

Native people are also convinced that disharmonious actions toward plant and animal communities turn them against human health and life. They become poisonous, where, before being mistreated, they were nutritious and safe for human use and consumption. Another consequence of disharmony is that they quietly disappear.” (: Gunn Allen), of Grandmothers of the Light. A medicine woman's source book. (p. 1991; p.165; 166, 169-70.)

; That 'Christ-Bearing Dove' ; ...Let us hope that dove then now times would've turned be interpreted for more sort carrier to some peace. (Like that from it's usual, more 'europanized' image from, how the bird viewed. I mean...but let that be.) Of more of 'easiness' or w. some anticipations and inspire, I can share the thought about these present times for some period of an important change. Such as the many native american myths seem said, occasionally, or to 'have predicted'. ('Foresee', not quite sounds to any good word, on this...) Or, are sometimes interpreted for give 'us' some clues from.

Personally, despite my any reservations and dark 'foresees' by my own, I even can find it to not for any contradictive claim if this present (on-coming) age could've appear to have (had) some it's begun of the y. 2012 – Such as Gunn Allen, one place, seems write. ...Happens that I during those very years, 2011-2 spent some lot time within quite close adjacent to our Natural environments. 'Suppose I'll always remember those very years, Summers, of because to those times also originated my own very essential identification w. that Natures. (Wouldn't say the 'timing' anyhow from too important a period, 'cause it's certainly too early for say if anything seen/on going is to turn, most part, for good or bad.) But I kind of view that very timing to an important periods on my own life. Could say that my whole view of life, presently, of large part to originate for that timing. ; ...Yet, fx, the less encouraging I discover, similarly just as a fact, that those Summers also were the last I notice we've experienced as any actual level to the 'normal'. 'Standard' Fennoscandian Summers, - 'though the ones in question, w. some bit more of sunshines, yet, still, also were slighter warmer than 'of usual'. Each one thenafter, has actually showed the more or less of the increases from present climatic unbalance. But any prophecy bears some seeds to it's realization.

...Of that George, the source for few natural observances here, I at first considered to cite more than what to these few places, below 'section'. Especially, I thought from make a few comparisons between Great Britain's local environments and butterfly-favorable gardens, and these more northern, more forested ranges of ours. But, seems this now had plenty enough time spend on those above stories, this goes now only w. these few quotes from.

- ...Shall it suffice, if we'd remark or seems worth the remark (,from many other things that could've been quoted for this) – That that mention of some those 'short-distance' wanderer's, also 'commoners' in addit for those mentioned Nymphalids, if wished them to 'regular inhabitants' on your garden, only become so in case you have the garden large enough for those 'nomads'. (Not having quite the places for too extensive projects, so far I've felt satisfied w. these few benches I've established and the fewsome 'regulars' them seem from tempt to the place, time to time.). And, indeed, then it feels from good idea to have some amount nettles, or some their close-related plants from kept around. 'Cause surprising many day-time species lay their eggs on nettles. Of course, then we need a variety of those good nectar feeds for them, too.

Another view-point that I can't avoid mentioning, being that – like I mentioned formerly - byside this urban hell of ours, I've not discovered but a certain variety from the species. However – my garden, almost unplanned from the butterflies in considering, built without any particular plan, seems nowadays of had developed from it's habitats more in the direction of a bee-garden (more lately.) - Make sure you read that correctly, a bee-garden, not a beer-garden. 
 

; ...Wouldn't make too much a difference, butterflies renown by that many species also are rather fond for the more 'malted' juices. (Although, the 'attractants' made w. that method, I think more usually from attracting the moths. Well, once I built such trap - some that 'butterfly-hobbyists' tend favor, of sugars, malts, etc. - and then next day wondered from whether it's scents and aromas would've been the reason a snake happened appear on my sight, during a day-time. 'Though, obviously it was not on this region.) ;

Orange Tip (male, on Bellflower), Forest road, not of garden.

...But, well, all from the mentioned (- on above, George) commoners among Nymphalidae – excluding the Comma – are indeed usual from make their appearance during Summer seasons. Plus, then are some other nearby 'wanderers' that I not on that earlier listing mentioned. (But some lot more scarcely seen, here on my garden.) 

 Some  such contain at least Brimstone, plus few other 'cabbages' – Yet, to these urbanhoods there also 'less usual' regulars that seen very scarcely (If ever, I'd spotted some to my garden.) One such fx Black-veined White. ; ...And then at least must've had some sightings in the garden from the Holly Blue, and of that Map-Butterfly, or then is also of the Green hair-streak – All that I suppose, maybe a few times seen on the place. Orange Tip, possibly too. But not for long, males being almost constant wonderers. I once tried to get a good photo, but soon got tired of tryin' to follow that... ; Plus, even less commonly, maybe once having spotted a Fritillary around my Springtime flowers – Some species that appears perhaps the second commonest here and during their flight season often comes by “in dozens” on the nearby meadows (...Some adjacent for these 'urban hells' :) Likewise, I've actually never found Small Copper from my garden flowers, but in the adjacent woods during the flight-time, from midst June, at least a few occasional sightings are more for the norm than any unsuality. (It been more for the luck if I've seen, anyplace, that Purple-edged, these days. Actually, one time I had a bit more specimen from sighted, and it was exactly due because of the habitat in place. It still had remained to the favourable dry/only slight nutrient smaller hay-growths, w. some vetches, ...et sim.)

; Photo beside right: ...(That) Lasiocampa quercus, 'Oak eggar', a relative large Moth sometimes seen from during day-time too. (But actually, I think for seen this species (then a female) only one other time - Addit for this below mentioned.) ; ...Also, seems it from observed, the species lays it's offspring also on the other broaf-leaved trees - that sense the name little misleading. Relative large species, about(?) 4.5-7.5 cm wingspan.

But thenagain, to mention only, reminds me there actually quite wide variety of the attractive moths I happen also of had seen to my walks in the Natures. If from lot rarer on garden. Such as this one in the adjacent pic, a lucky encounter some years ago, discovered of the hayside adjacent to a forest road. No doubt one of the most elegant and 'stylish' at this wide variety...Chocolate brown, and 'velvet', etc. (Females are bit less spectacular lookin', much lighter brown, almost to the fairer color from a pale wood like the...Hazel? And, if I recall correctly, are slightly smaller too. Soon from had discovered that male in the picture, saw one closeby, hence that I remember the episode so well.) But, it's actually some rather common species, while quite large one. And has the wider appearance throughout most Europes. Albeit, it mentioned becoming from scarcer in the North, from midst of the Fennoscandia.)

Finally, only to some reminder for ourselves – Let us cite this following too:

“There is a long list of individual species to grow among the grasses. The butterfly gardener is always searching for the best provider of nectar, and one good candidate is Verbena bonariensis – a plant to rival buddleia. Focal points in large meadow could also include the yellow scabious, Cephelaria gigantea, and a globe thistle, Echinops exaltus. Both are also good nectar plants.” (; p. 21)

Not the slightest idea about these mentioned, but maybe I might give some those a try on my garden (W. the reservation that, these days, one makes well of to check about that them not of any potential to invasive specs on to this range...)

-----------------

[ Photo (beside right) ; ...Hulkenstein, a Fennoscandian bee, that inhabits the semi-opne, drier and sunnier spots, from the some rocky enviroments too, possibly. ...Or some similar sort places, can't say from too particular. Only occasional seen that species. ; ...Met that on feeding of some common Stonecrops (Sedum), while I was on a walk from just passing by that place. Sunny Summer day, obviously it was rather favorable to the bees and 'alike' species. 'Hulkenstein', probably, could appear a (relative) regular species, but, I think from not - from maybe only few times - I've seen any to my garden flowers. Gives that argument some reasons from to think how any old, 'traditional' enviroments having from become ever more important ecologically, by these times. ; I mean - Well, Hulkenstein has been around for quite a while, matter a fact it often frustrating how rarely you see of these less 'standard' bees - Hence my many gardenings, an' hobbies for flowers from lately, such as was already mentioned...] 

“A garden of 1,000 square meters (a quarter of an acre) can pack away up to one ton of CO2 per year. This corresponds to the carbon dioxide emissions from a car journey of over 4,000 miles or a train journey of 15,000 miles (per passenger).” (Wohlleben; p. 93)

'Hulkenstein...' ; Or ...Bit more on garden, insects, etc...; Not necessarily gives reasonable argument on behalf any adverts of these gardenings to so climatically benefitting a hobby. I comfort myself more w. all those gained experiences and w. an actual feel, of uncomparable value it having, on that connectivity w. natures from 'regained'. And to this still another view-point – You could also spend your any spare lot worse than from diggin' ground and preparing the soil to your veggies, or of thinkin' more suitable locations for your perennials. Only other thing to mention – except of the many enchantin' natural sights it permits, enjoyable discoveries made – is on that aspect about the importance from the native species from cultivated, also in the gardens. So when one can, why not favor the natural garden. (Larger number peoples, besides, buy these days 'everything' to the garden as ready-mades – And of usual anything you can do by yourself, is more natural of any ecological p-o-w. ...W. the exception from launching/helping to the spread of some introduced invasives, like we of usual tend remind. So I always try to remind myself to 'wary and scary' about that aspect. No matter how decorative, enchantin the species...)

(Tomatoes) ; During this Summery season, as usual, I of course had also the Tomatoes grown by myself. A few other 'veggies' too, incl. the Ground Celeries, and fx Garlic. Plus the Squashes, of course. Those did grow moderately – the very heated season considering, perhaps, not so well, afterwards thinkin' – and perhaps my 'adapted' Milpa then wasn't the most practical solution for these northern colder climates. But it was yet quite so enchantin' to be able pick a few fruits from midst my perennials and during warm seasons I had a fewsome for my prepared beans'n-squash then.

But not much on veggies to this from noted. Celery I observed probably only needing the more open sunshiny field for to grow well good –That I have not. From the Garlics I actually acquired now plenty from gloves of the shops, and planning from put more of those overwintering around by, say, Oct. (This far, I've grown my few bulbs from the couple gloves as the 'leftover' from preceded years.) 
 

; The tomatoes I had from three types, actually. Only the ones on hanging baskets grew well enough, but them provided plenty from the little 'red berries'. As I didn't so much bother from the others, not took too much care to their successfull growing. ; ...No matter, the season was of course quite favorable, and resultant of the baskets I think not any recent years to had as many for harvests from. Now them seem finally 'out of the season', as the colder nights having arrived and growth practically stopped. On those I had the variety named 'Red Profusion'. ...Actually, I at first thought it a bit failure for the selection as my tomatoes did feel of the taste from bit less fruity and not any so 'fleshy' as I've tend expect them. But the more moisturic late Months, August, September then from having arrived, I noted the taste actually did from improve. 'Suppose then that this long dry spell a reason why it was so. Possibly 'cause them take generalt lenghtier times here ripen that lack of moisture might've been the reason. ...Wonder how them might've lasted these seasons at the commercial production – although, likeliest in the greenhouses kept the steady moisturic level enough despite the weathers outside generally. ; Anyway, my experimenting w. the fertilizer sticks for the tomato was then somewhat a stalemate between the regular Biobact-liquid. I had both at those hanging baskets, and generally those fertilized w. liquid variety seemed for emerge on bit earlier to ripened. But then, the ripening wasn't all in all quite that 'effective' – Perhaps in vary of these conditions by the dry season, also I watered them a bit too much. - Or, however about that but the ones fertilized w. the sticks anyway turned for to the harvest somewhat more steady, and bit more plentysome. (...From about the midst July, about). ; Not that much for any difference. Still, gues'll then at the on-coming seasons would prefer those sticks just because it also saves you a bit of trouble, won't need that much effort given. You only need to water, I mean. It's a practical important view-point, since by nowadays I've for usual tended have so many projects going on w. these plants of mine...

 The Plants

'Peradventure'.., Or 'Workin' for the Mother', pt II...  

; ...Of the plants, perennials, annuals, and the trees cultivated, I've a few examples here – Hope these “findings”, won't then enlarge anymore wordysome, this time. ; Of the examples from trees, the remarks are quite brief and not very specifically on anything about their keepin'. Them here, only due because I've from occasional experimented of their growing too. (In during this season and of formerly.) ; One at the time...

; Photos: Not of specifically explained/detailed, onwards from (this). (But w. a few added mentions...)

(European) Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinium)

...Guess´ve not from mentioned this of my cultivated perennials (this Summer) on any former 'sections' here. Began to grow these appreciated species from around late Feb, Spring. ...Such as it was promised, the task didn't turn for anything very difficult. (The sowings) I placed on a warm-up mat had some small growths emerging only after the fewsome days. Or, maybe, that was after some weeks a time. The manner of the sowing, was w. the seeds blended w. a small amount thin sand. Then sowed on very surfaces of the dirt and w. only from slightest covered by. Then, it was for the most part were kept indoors - at the smaller pots where I had those sowed – all the way past Spring Months. And, 'suppose, I might've planted them outdoors only after late May/June.

Should, perhaps, be fertilized regularly, but rather sparingly. That way mine, probably, might've turned to the flowering already sometime around from late July - But guess I did, this case too, lot over-fertilize them. The result was , that I didn't see blooms sooner than on about begins to the Sept. Plants appear be (relative) small and prior from the flowers emerging also are rather unnoticeable. (So its good idea to place them outside on an adequate space and not shaded by other, more rapid growing species.) Sunshiny place as possible, and, I also aided the growth by arranging their surroundings in the midst of a (small) stony “alpine garden”, that I quickly created of via placing moderate large stones beside each Edelweiss (Plus also had ground nearby covered w. some gravel.) The soil I little improved w. the sand and bought dirt (and maybe turf, cant remember to this writing.) ; Anyway, it doesn't favor near so acid grounds than the Arnicas. All in all, maybe the biggest mistake I did was of that overfertilizing. ; Guess my 'arrangement' yet made the place favorable enough to 'em – At least several finally flowered.

Their overwintering seems said from little varying. - But at these northern zones one could feel it has at least good chances to. (Or, don't know, not by any experience. Suppose those conditions from the soil, ground also somewhat matter on that – Any colds shouldn't be so much a problem, 'suppose.) ; Doesn't need much too particular cares. Once the blooms were from developed one could discover the small insects at them, if carefully observing. To my any finding it seems also to appear quite scentless. (Or maybe I've just not recognized that?)

; Of course, it being rather legendary plant...I actually was a bit from disappointed on those at first sight. ; 'Only' to show from such pale starlet-flowers. ...Thenagain, now observing it quite likely suffers by any created impressions to any garden. That so, because/due that in the natural places it grows, the flowers are said to be seen only after some exhaustive physical 'hike', walks taken. – It growing on the spots quite difficult to achieve, on it's mountaneous Alpine ranges. Or about...anycase, not at any very easily 'reachable' ranges. Such as the usual 'romantical' description at the plentiful stories where it said appear on. So that, sort of, gives me the feeling you can't actually experience this plant's “essentials”, or the emotional joys from it's finding on any garden condition. Well that, of course, wouldn't much matter...

Spotted beebalm (or, 'Horsemint'), Monarda punctata

About this species, we already remarked at the preceded 'sections' the details from early growing of these. Now I have some, actually there's plenty in the garden. (Luckily) several from also even hurried  to flowering already by this first year. ...'Though, I've a little suspectance about how of it's surviving the winter, ...'cause the close-relates to that, Lemon beebalm (M. citriodora) , that I earlier grew were 'only' annual flowers. (Some cases then tend grow of the last years seeds in the garden on subsequent Summers, though.) ; From my other earlier mentioned American perennials, that Echinaceae (Yellow Coneflowers, E.paradoxa), my assumtions proved be correct and no flowerings seen on during their first year. (Despite that heats would've been very favoring.) But, it's case I'm now more from concerned about the very same aspect, how it shall tolerate the colder Months here. Forewarned about, planted some at the various places in the garden. - So, I'm quite optimistic for to see at least a few of these from emerging late from next Spring. (Any cases, the natural range from seems to represent a bit more southern regions than what the case from these cultivated Beebalms.)

Actually, in the first instance I had assumed that these Spotted horsemints/-beebalm would've appeared a mixture from, perhaps, of that Lemon Beebalm and some other species of the 'actual' Beebalms. But of course there's a variety separate species. Their native ranges appears reach the quite northern limit, as are (acc. Wikip.) “...native to eastern Canada, the eastern United States and northeastern Mexico”. Guess'll the overwintering then not much of any problem from their case.

It having the 'tubular'-shaped flowers, whose petals seem from turn to whitish when full grown...then later I've observed, them seem acquire a more of a violet colour. (Now noticeable on some from my plants.) Additionally, that Wikip. seems also say that (historically) it been “...used to treat upset stomachs, colds, diarrhea, neuralgia and kidney disease.“ ; And, also that; “...M. punctata attracts pollinators in great numbers, especially wasps. Among the wasps that it brings to the garden are beneficial predatory wasps that control grubs, pest caterpillars, [...etc...]” ...Sounds to me quite logical, given that the flowers emerge w. that white color – Well, like said, actually only those flower-petals representing the said coloration. (...Or, now noticing, seems it that the flowers maybe not yet haven't had the time from grow to their fullest decorativity, so far, this year. The actual flower-'petals' might still be for emerging for the larger blooms, if it not goes on too cold, this early. Supposin'.)

But, guess I then can expect next season, those wasps from to even more effectively for keeping my garden very pest-free - Given that I planted such a large number these, this year. The thought doesn't bother me at all, since I've now got so many other nectar-feeds too, to many various bees. Resultant, I suppose, them even not having any spare time for much of noticing me. And even less from to turn out arrogant against my kind 'benefactor' for the insects, bees, ecology... Besides, like noted, this good variety from the 'bee-friendly' plants keeps the garden in good condition, also protects from most sort harms. ; And of that you can easily understand reasons why it recommendable for any from you just to throw your 'Round-ups' to the...(Well, let us not turn out impolite towards our readers.) But that's a plain truth about natural ecology, not very difficult an aspect to some reasoning from any common sense.

And, yet, seems I've now so many from grown; Perhaps it would be still more reasonable of to give the rest of my Spotted beebalm of this season away. Or, at least not from plant anymore to the garden. ... I will need some place for any additional perennials too, during the following Summers.

My any mistakes to their growing the 'same as usual' of these now mentioned. – I possibly overfertilized them too, a bit. ; I also wonder if the flowers from those Spotted Horsemints are any palatable. Notably in the herbals M.didyma are said from; “...edible flowers add color to summer salads.” Supposin' the flowers to these would be eatable too, then. But it not any guarantee from it's case, while seems likely. I'll have to check about that too...

  --------------------------- 

Tagetes patula (ie; 'French marigold')

Of course, these are not perennials but are seasonal flowers. Reason to me from acquire and plant some was simply because at this year I didn't have any of my regular 'Mexican' tagetes (T.minuta). So in the last minute, decided at least I should plant some of the more usual species. Wanted additional colourful bloomings to my garden, easy as possible, better still if them would serve for repelling away any harmful insect pests.

And so they did. (Or don't know about that latter part. Last season was quite favorable, that sense. The heat'n'drought (-conditions) not particularly favoring the mass-increase of pests, here. Besides, I have the ants and plenty of those bees for regular inhabitants, visitors for the garden. Especially the ants might've been reason that my plants aren't at all troubled by any those. (And fx, I think that also the reason, I for rarer see any coleopterans in the garden.) 

 

; Yet, of typically, the Tagetes' characteristic scent doesn't seem from prevent bumble-bees on their visits at. - Albeit, at first I not noted them from not so earnest, only for to the occasional visits, during some earlier Months Summer. ...But now, when the most my native Summer flowers mostly faded, seems that the Tagetes still to full flourish succeed from attract more of the bees. Of course, they're almost exceptionally most usual species, like that one in the picture. (Some my Knapweeds that I cut down earlier in the Summers to pass through more light to some other plants, also seem now gotten to the flowering, second time.)

[Adjacent photo: A bee on Tagetes (patula). The most common Fennoscandian species (Bombus lucorum) - On my Summer time visits in the garden I actually, nowadays, mostly tend have to the usual observance from seeing these, (about) like; 'Ah, that one of the usual variety too...' ; Them tend for fly most from the (late) Spring/early Summer 'till early late Summer. Many from other species appear to visit my flowers w. the lot shorter periods from their activity. ...Although, there maybe several to quite similar lookin', and their flight seasons from over-lapping, a bit (at least.) ] 

Must've planted my Tagetes on the same timing than my squashes. (Therefore quite late, on early June. Or, at least not earlier.) Therefore, mine also not much flowered prior the begins of this Autumn-season. (I was gettin' a bit impatient about during the July, since them had only few blooms and were developing steadily, but slowly.) ...But once gotten on, their flowerescence seems then increased for the most overwhelming and lasting. They don't either too easily drop from the colds, either. (The first night-frosts then seem to hit them quite bad, though. Not survives much any minus zero degrees, of course.)

Some my plants I had on the clay- and metallic pots, where them seemed also emerge of bit faster. If doing so, it's also proper to place them on a bit larger pots – Are quite 'gregarious' for grow, seasonals that them are. ...And (,not surprisingly...) probably did use a bit of too much fertilizers on them too. The stalks for the blooms on that clay-container seemed of grow pretty long before it opened the blooms. Actually, in the clay pot it emerged to show quite funny a manner: The blooms that grew taller began flower first; And - from reason whatsoever - them all were full yellow-orange by color. For some contrast...The ones below appeared then a more regular mixture from the red and yellow. ; Whatever having caused that (over-fertilization, the excess warm-up, or overwatering, maybe), from equally surprising, on the metal container them emerged from a bit more slowly and all red-orange ('mixture').

Such as said from most of the Tagetes, seems it's root secretions to repel the harming Nematodes (the 'roundworms' - Guess that the 'parasitic some', amongst, in other words.) ; And...what? (Acc Wikip.), seems that also favored cultivars on perfumery, since 'The whole plant is harvested when in flower and distilled for its essentials oils.' Plus, seems it harvested also to some other uses.

And, like noted, their cultivation couldn't be easier: You only need from find quite sunshiny place. In the limited sunlight, on 'partial shaded' them seem to emerge too, but, naturally the flowers then are of significant less. (Or so I noted.) In the pots the more plenty from fertilization may be necessary, ever soon after of week or two from their relocating to the larger containers. - Planted at the soils, as I then also did notice, those flowers seemed from emerge bit later. But finally then, of course, for the more plentiful (And without any yellow specimen.) Water is needed only sparingly - But, as it relative large species, grows 20-30 cm height, during the heats some regular watering seem suggestable.

Grows for only seasonal but well so 'spectacular'. No wonder they've here become so popular in gardens. Easy'an'neat. And guess I would grow some in coming Summers too – It's flowers are very enchantin, little...'cocky'. (Not 'ethereal', like that Edelweiss.)

  -------------------- 

'Wild Basil' (Clinopodium vulgare)

Midst/late July, flowers emergin'...

...And then I also cultivated a few bushes from this herbaceous plant. From seeds, of course. Sowed that around April, but outdoors not sooner than – perhaps – from around first weeks of a June. (Or, was it by that time I relocated the specimens to greenhouse, and to the bit larger pots? Can't remember, but the plant rather quite sunlight and warmth-favoring - Those wouldn't grow, much, before it got for the July. Despite the heats. On that timing I at least had my few emerged specim(s) planted for grounds.) ; Should overwinter, in the favorable places...But thenagain, seems also said of bit uncertain, and I've no former experience. Anycase, I also arranged for it a place to my little 'rock garden', that now also containing the Winter Savouries, Liquorice, Thyme. And what else? We'll see, next season...(Thumbs up.)

Belongs this one too, for the Lamiaceae. So it's flowers I noticed of frequent visited by some local bees. Grows here natively, but sparsely it said about. ; (A glance for the details...) '...a native plant on the margins of broad-leaved forests, on rich meadows, and on calciferous rocky outcrops. The species exploited grazing slash-and-burn agriculture to great effect, but it shuns contemporary cultural environments, unlike its close relative basil-thyme (C. acinos), which thrives better beside rocks.' Here, it also said (mainly) from inhabit the southern ranges, most part. ; 'Perennial, w. subterranean runners'. ; I noted it to 'thrive' the best if soil keepin' some amount nutrients, but also is 'thinned' w. some sand.

(...I also happened from discover nearby, beside the meadow/forest roads it's bit more common 'cousin', that mentioned C.acinos. – Seemed it's flowers more for the violet by their colour. On .vulgare them are more to lilac, even closer for pink. Such as noticeable, on the pics. The .acinos grew on midst the grasses, or of hays, so also seemed that from slight taller, at least to 40 to 50 cm. ; Neither from them has not, exactly, any relation to the Mints, menthe. The Satureja seems noted to more closer relatives for.)

But it also seems have had some role as a culinary herb, formerly. ...Inspired from that finding, I used some fresh leaves w. the fishes, but it didn't much particularly give any flavour by it's own. At least appears palatable, and maybe it's 'strong aroma' gets better tasting if the leaves dried. ; Not that I'd much cared from, the main principal idea was to cultivate some these old traditional, declined specimen – Which I also intend from practice at my on-coming sowings to the garden. ; It very beautiful lookin', even lovely plant, such as most of these traditionals are...Hence the reasons for.

; About the same/near for timing...

And, then was the 'mystical part' ; ...Fromafter I at first noted the other one from my plants of started for bloom, the other one followed, almost instantly. (Nothing very mystical on that, of course, most plants can 'launch' that via communicting to others on their 'chemical messaging', carried on air - So fx the tomatos at garden regularly also emerge for flowers by simultaneously.) However, the case in point, that my plants were planted on the complete separate places. The other was on place, roughly, some half a kilometre apart. (Besides the other plant also was from lot bit smaller, since it was planted in a well less favorable place. Was as a seedling, lot more weaker growing specim., too.) ...I can imagine a few explanations: Either those messages or 'particles' could've traveled within me, of having touched the flowers, and it then – perhaps, can't recall, but possibly I might've checked the specimen, or at least the garden by that day – brought the other plant on flowering, too. ; Or alternatively, which seems to the more amazing, the said messaging just could've traveled via the air, thereafter 'launched' the other for blooming too. But there indeed distances between, the other plant also was near not so good developed, even that season was warm, the wind was almost non-existant. 
 

How it happened, then? I could understand, if there would've been the amounts of these plants, like usual to some that inhabit the roadsides, meadows, etc. – But these I see no elsewhere. Perhaps it for just 'concidential'? (But I don't think so.) ; Feels the sort small, but inspiring 'chain-of-incidents' – Of course plants always tend from to surprise you, no matter how much you think of gotten for understand about. Perhaps these just, to appear to relative scarce and irregular by any 'habits', then would've developed some ways that I'm having not any too good an idea about for to better explain... :)

The Trees:

Well...not exactly. First these few Vines.

'Old Mans Beard' ; ie Clematis (spec, .vitalba)

This the main - but not the sole - example to my garden vines. From the Clematis it was the species I decided from experiment with. ...I have a few others, but not as yet tried from them cultivatin of the seed. There's possibly a few more 'tricks' from what comes to the more demanding some, but I noted that on the Clematis the most significant factor here is the adequate warmth. Basically Vines are pregrown quite resembling to perennials – But, the growth takes a bit more of a time. (Unlike the case from annual vines.) And, also you don't need to fertilize them much at all. I maybe a few times within pregrowin' season fertilized my sowed Clematis. Don't know if even that would've been necessary. Maybe suffices if the soil is proper well prepared.

The fact is, I actually assumed this would've been considerably more difficult effort than how it then turned for. It must represent, of course, an easy 'European variety', less demanding to many others of Clematis. In essence, seems it also recognized to considerably source of some weediness at the warmer areas, where plants been introduced and not natively grow. (Said to appear invasive fx on the New Zealands and at some other places tropical 'zone'.) - Reasons to it so successfully growing, many places, seem that it even tolerates some (slight) acidity from the soil – Unlike most of the garden Clematis, that tend favor more often the bit alkaline base. On it's native, or semi-native range at mid-Europes these are also to often flower even during the first year...But here one has to wait that from a couple of Summers. (So, now here only above picture of the branch from that climbings on my greenhouse windows.)

; Here outdoors planting had to wait until ca that early from July. (Despite the conditions, last Summer. Or, I think it was the more reasoned solution, at least them seemed all start well enough.) Like from most Clematis, it's good to plant on a soil where 'layer(s)' nearest the surface are mixture of soil thinned w. the sand, and then on below that there is the more nutrient-rich dirts. Dug hole doesn't have to be too large, but it's important that the water passes through the above layers easily. Most Clematis don't like much, if the roots remain too long much soaked in the moisture, constantly. ; ...So I followed the advice, and now I'm having a few bushes outdoors, one kept inside the greenhouse. I planted that on indoors from latest. Suppose the well lot fertilize having dropped of my tomatoes might've also improved it's growth as the branches are already lot more. Of course, seems that plantin on greenhouse now to some 'overcaring', it not very fragile for colds. But who knows beforehand...

Flowerings are to then awaited for the next year – And hopefully them are to be seen then at Spring/early Summer.

; Of the seasonal Vines we already feat that example from the Cardinal Reds - Of described in the previous post. Actually, I'm still awaitin to their more complete flowerescence, since a few of my bushes having grown to well more luxuberant during this years heats. Despite (that), seems it again that the cold seasons from emerging apparently would prevent it's most splendid rich blooming. Yet, here a few weeks, days still time - And seems that other too now having a plenty buds. So I'm still high on hopes...Even that the last night showed some earliest colds, minus zero. But only temporarily so, tomatoes outdoors were frozen, but my Vines looked not at all suffered. Thumbs up... :)

(A few days after) - Well...happened it so that during last night was much colder and it seemed of effectively killed the stems from my Cardinal Reds. 'Luckily', still, those did indeed develop fewsome more from the bloomings, late – But, therefore 'in the nick of time'. And I had at least a brief moment for enjoy the sight from about it to 'most splendour'.

I have yet another perennial vine here presented - If only from the pic of it's flower, and w. very brief comments on, about. (That being): 

 

(European/Common) Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclemenum)

; Having planted that at the warmest, most 'protected' place in the garden. - But perhaps it wasn't yet from quite the best sunshiny spot. (It grows beside a hedge, right next to the garden stone-yard, since that felt for the most suitable, warm too.) However, my Lonicera (.periclemum) seems of regularly to get harmed from the Spring-frost by the recent few years. Usually the earliest stems that grow, often, seem of died out – Which often enslows or makes it to 'skip' from the flowering. (Should flower on the early Summer seasons, here maybe around June, or about.) ...This season from an unusual warm Spring, I suppose, apparently, then to the complete opposite, it seemed to do very well past that Spring. – But no buds, flowers either (...I suppose it was exactly due that drought-spell this time, which prevented it from.) By this Autumn it thenafter seems of emerged to grow from a fewsome flowers. 

 

; ...But actually the only reason for this mention– got the species from shops already several years ago – that it offers also a place for a pic about our local native Honeysuckle-variety, 'Fly Honeysuckle' (Lonicera xylosteum) (Beside). It grows mostly at groves and on some favourable spots 'mixed' forest too. Generally common. (Of course, it must have wide ranges on European/Asian part, though I didn't check about....) Yet, by this day not at all so common than it could be. - Actually, that plant is merely a bush than any vine. Or, a small "tree." (Something from between those, anycase.) ...From .xylosteum, like from many usual Honeysuckle-spec. apparently, berries are from slight poisonic, of course, btw. Could've presented the pic w. it's small, yellowish flowers - If I had any photo. However, I actually rather rarely see that when it blooms, 'cause it's on flower already by around midst(?) May...And the only places in the few spots I know it to grow from any nearby forests I usually forget go at that time. (Having usually so much to do, in the garden, during the Spring-weeks.) ; But then it's also just one from the plants that seems of said gotten more common on the forests by the times when slash'n'burn agriculture still was practiced here. (Long ago.)

; ...My European honeysuckle (.periclenemum) seems to it's nativity said of grow at 'Europe, N.Africa, Turkey, Caucasus' – And even naturalizing '...as far as southern Sweden and Norway'. Interestingly, it is also said of the blooms that scent is notably better recognized only during the night. Funny...I never thought about that. Guess'll I have to see, since it still flowers. (Even though, now so cold at nights, perhaps the moths aren't so likely being seen around, anymore...) ; To the Vines these for quite common regular species, but I then ain't so much any enthusiast. So far these seem from sufficient on my (garden) 'hobbying'.

------------------------

The 'Actual trees'...

Jakaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia)

...Already formerly quite much here presented - So on this particular, no more pics and but a few words on.

Jakaranda I've noted very easy to sow, grow and keep – But then, it's difficult for make it survive past the winter-time without that it's nice leaves begin from loose their nicest green. The whole plant soon in lesser light, then starting from look little 'spoiled'. (; ie, it relative easily survives untill Spring, when sunshiny day again 'awake' the plants for their new growth, but the lower twigs usually start from fade, drop thenafter.)

...Was originally thinkin' to throw this one away after the Summer season...But now it's so large and from nicely grown little tree that I just can't. - At least not without some effort given to keep it in the cold rooms past dark seasons. In the Summer it grows so fast, that if succeeding that would emerge for about over the 1 to 1.5 of height next year. Some constant moisture and the good light being it's basic demands, only. Well fertilization. In the reduced temperatures it, maybe, has to be watered only after some two weeks, suppose.

Seems it to tolerate some level of the colds too; At the garden greenhouse – unwarmed – recently still, it didn't seem affected by some near zero temperatures night-time. But after that next Summer, anycase I will have to separate of this tropical tree by my growing.

Hasta la Vista then...But no sooner.

(European/small leaved) Lime (Tilia Cordata) 

 

Perhaps might've mentioned this too earlier, from having had the Lime grown on a small garden pot for past few winters outside/on the greenhouses. By some years now.

...I don't find there anything too particular that I could mention/add on (that). If I should mention some tree that mostly has had to do w. my ecological 'field trips' here, or say, 'ecological imagination', no doubt it would be Lime. The fact that I happen to have a fewsome trees growing, some planted around 1990s, has also given me lot encounters from to familiarize some amount of a plenty insect-fauna Lime maintains. Did had the habit from contemplate under that 'Linden-tree', sometimes. ...And, lots from other good memories about. (Suppose, I recall from had mentioned that I paid a visit on the place the tallest specimen known to here regions. It grew on from a bottom of some dip. Hence the reason for it's growth seemed it. But I've seen some old, complete different lookin. The one w. the broadest trunk I met must've been about some...couple meters from diameter. Or more. But it had grown in the midst some smaller patches, soforth relative slowly.) ....Seen a few older too. While it not grows to so particular old here regions – Possibly, some about 150-200 years might've been the oldest I've come by. (For the Oaks some “maximum”, to these ranges is something like over for 300 y.)

; The 'mother-tree', acc the many old beliefs, and 'pagan' religions. Heart-shape leafs. Even more lovelier flowers (nectar rich). ...Celts, Romans, and 'Norse'-tribes may have worshiped that. To say it briefly; I never quite had it for suspected about the Lime for an 'original' sanctified tree on this land. Many places I've visited, where them grow, I've felt from existant the continuing presence of that far distant the past - Still very much alive, while much part of anything like from forgotten to this day. Her presence in the Nature, still possible to sense, on this time too, if you wish. (From that said.)

So, obviously, there couldn't be the more rewarding tree of had grown at your garden. (...In case you have enough space for one. The 'mixed' breeds seem of grow for less 'far-reaching' of twigs, but the only real natural variety here is T.cordata. Ie the Forest Lime, T.cordata). As the additional plus, ones the twigs and tree gotten large enough – it grows slowly - the below may start from become populated w. somewhat more kinds of the bit more 'demanding' natural plants, and alike. (Until it then gets from very large, and the shading becomes to the more complete.)

Inspired of the method mentioned at that Beresford-Kruger book (Arboretum America, 2003), I've then this years also decided some time to establish another little 'patch' of Limes. Since it was said that (,via that way) one can easily create some more. Just cutted a 'seedling' of the lower twig of a Lime. I followed the instructions, and, now I'm also having few more at my greenhouse awaitin' the arrival from more favorable Months, the next Summer.

; ...I only experimentally tried 'rooting' those twigs, 'cause it was already late of the Summer and the early seasons are said lot better a timing of them rooting for adequate good. (However, them now seem to do ok.) But we shall see of how those would live past the Winter. Thenafter I'm going to root some more for to be established at that little 'Forest of the Limes', by 'my own'. (ie, on that additional 'patch'. Some little hobbies that keep you not only in touch w. the Natures, but happily can say – busy. Although, I've not much any experience to tree-growing, nor very large areas of the land to root any these by my this 'hobbying'.) ; ...Their growing of the seeds is said to be more difficult a task, from what noted about. And indeed, Lime here only flowers to the more plentyful on maybe every 5, 7 years, maybe.( Since it was quite warm during the Summers by 2011-12 almost all of my still smaller sapplings, actually appear to originate of that period...supposedly.) This year, supposin', there was too dry conditions, which might've prevented their best blooms. - So, if some good Summers from next year, I hope we can then expect from that more plentyful flowering next year. 
 

Perhaps. Wait'n'see...

'Norway' Maples (Acer Platanoides)

...Such as typical to these English names on any northern trees (plant, by occasional) I wouldn't much prefer to call the species for a Norwegian variety. (The other usual English name, 'Scots' Pine, P.sylvestris, sounds to my ears quite as...English. However we have only that one pine-species here...so, goes for 'Pine'. :) But of Acer (.platanoides), grows that here too, of natively – While often on most favorable spots on woods, typically w. some singular trees by only. Or from a small 'patches', the most usual places from riversides, warm 'sheltered' roadsides, sunny hillsides...and then on many places from nearby any older settlements. (Or, alternatively on the modern roadsides, and to gardens especially. Etc...) 
 

; Actually, Maples being the tree that I have most earliest memories from my childhood. I mean that old, little schematic story about having played as a child on shades of the maple-trees.

Well...The principal reason from mention just because it always was a very favored tree from planted to the house gardens here. That also the reason, or so it's said, trees range of presently, actually, is for the more northern zones than it would naturally grow. (Although that 'global warming hell' now may be enlarging that natural range to even more for North.) Probably I've priorly from noted how the Maples, along some other hardwoods, seem by these years gotten on an enfastened growth. ; An older tree from some is always a joy for my sighting and I've also had the habit of to go on joggings, around the time when they here flower (at May), just from to enjoy the view about their majestetic branches, before the leaves start from cover those.

...But I mention this too only, 'cause I now have in garden-greenhouse a smaller sappling. - Some that happened of discover on the garden-bench. Apparently it had seeded itself there. Don't know how about/where the place I should consider for relocate that – Don't even know how it now shall behave, after I relocated for a container. (Still rather small.) ...Might be that I – just for the experiment – try from keeping it grown w. this manner past the few Summers. Just for find out some its prerequisities. If successfull – grows to a large tree. (Obviously), If I'd plant that anyplace should've first discovered of where.

Black Walnut ; or, the 'American walnut' (Juglans nigra)

Even less to be said – so far - on the Black Walnut. So I'm very compact brief on this last selection. Only very little familiar to anything from it's growing. Most part, feels it, an effort that either w. plenty luck might succeed – Or, more expectable, if it fails from survive on these latitudes.

; ...Anyway, from inspired by my readings of the species, I then acquired some nuts from – followed carefully the instructions about the process from preparation before their sowing – And it seems been worth the effort, as I'm now having a smaller sappling, that one in the picture. Seems that wasn't so difficult, all in all. ...Nevertheless, I think, my succeeding on that might've had a lot from to do w. the aspect I was able for keep the seeds on Greenhouse, at the 'ideal' conditions on a 'seedbed' there. ; ...Matter-a-fact, I have a two seedlings now, the other one on a separate pot from. (Where it emerged.) That one is so tiny still, and probably does not grow any larger by this season, on the reduced daylight and generally colder temperatures. – So I'm actually planning from to keep that past the Winter Months with other household plants at the 'cold room'. (And then just hold my thumbs up on it. ...Wondering also of whether I've could help the growth, from protect the young sapplings w. some created 'black box'-effect' for its surroudings at garden...shall see from.)

Either way, outdoors or in the house-holds, the result now appears for to quite uncertain from any successes at. Since the overwintering of either 'sappling' lot depends on from how I manage keep them last the most cold period, I'll leave any further description fromafter that. IOW, we shall first see if those can make it past winter Months. (As the colds during January easily still can reach -20 C, or more, it not any too sure.) Of the Juglans seems it said the first two, three years them for most vulnerable on any freezin'. It maybe also more practical, if I'd only kept the other plant as a house-hold tree. Time will tell...Feels it, anycase, also some difficulty of whether we'd capable find some proper well lighted 'spot' to, at indoors.

But, from recalling to had provided on Juglans already a few cited former remarks via that Beresford-Kruger book ('Arboretum America') it makes sense to this cite for bit more from:

“...During the winter months when meat was scarce, black walnuts fed the African-American population of the Deep South, and of course they were always a stable for the aboriginal peoples.

Black walnuts are associated with an increased butterfly population. The young yellow leaves produced by an elongating meristem are both food and home for some early hairstreak butteflies.

Black Walnuts are solitary. They produce their own chemical weed killers by an ingenious device to ensure that they remain so. A number of daughter chemicals are produced throughout the plant in the roots, stems, nuts and leaves. These are fungicides, they inhabit the growth of root mycorrhiza of any seedling nut that dares to grow within the leaf canopy of the tree. ...” (;p. 80)

; And: “The Importance of the Juglandaceae was evident in the Roman Empire long before Christ. It seems that walnuts were a favourite food three thousands years before that. They were haute cuisine for the Babylonians.

... Parallel in time the aboriginal peoples of North America highly valued Juglans nigra as a food. The tree were owned separately from the land on which they grew. Even today, this is a unique concept in land management. ...” (p. 84)

(That something to think about, truly...) ; ...Seeked from if I'd found the photo of the nuts I had to these fewsome planted from. – But not from any luck, not found that. Guess'll our have to then for to do without...

-----------------------------------

“My dearly beloved brethren: - this is a scheme on which so many able writers, together with that very judicious coloured Baltimorean, have commented, that I feel my delicacy about touching it. But as I am compelled to do the will of my Master, I declare, I will give my sentiments upon it. ...”

; “... America is more our country, than it is the whites – we have enriched it with our blood and tears. The greatest riches in all America have arisen from our blood and tears: - and will they drive us from our property and homes, which we have earned with our blood ? They must look sharp or this very thing will bring swift destruction upon them. The Americans have got so fat on our blood and groans, that they have almost forgotten the God of armies. But let them go on. ” (; David Walker) ...of the 'Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World...', (1829) ; p., 65 (Walker's italics.)

(Walker's reference w. that 'master' is for the God, btw... ; ...following the latter sentences he then provides the lenghtier list on the sins and brutalities of an american slavery, still an accepted part of the social condition during his times.)

“Prophesy” - On the dawn of our 'prospering economics'. ; I think – unlike of how it sometimes seems stated – Walker's words not particularly seem been directed on the colored people 'of the world'. (But more so on his 'brethren' american blacks, slaves and those from only 'two-thirds free', by that 1829.) The subordinate clause on the titling of that also says that the 'Appeal' written to/for '...in particular and very expressly, to those of the U.S.A.' ; Whether there then even was exactly such coalition from, of, by so early a timing. Or by that year already...I'm a bit suspectant from. (But suppose(?) it's just close by years from the name from the united states for emerging to more common use.)

; On his 'Appeal' also, several places, Walker cultivates several occasion references to fx some antique authors. Seems him been well learned on, also quite on the level about the 'standard' stylish tricks at the rhetorics and learning of his days - Cons that early 1800s, 'in par' w. some his white contemporary speechers (, and othesomes) Notable also, that on text he offers examples from the Jefferson's distortment on his (Jefferson's) 'racial' view. Thenafter as well cites from the Declaration of Independence – Just for to show it's apparent contradictions w. the existed condition.

...From postward viewed, Walker's text seems stood the test of time to lot more convincingly than much else at the contemporary speech, or some 'usual sermon' on those topic. It now feels even so that the later followed 1800ian black antislavery speakers and figures (,such as Williams Wells Brown or even Frederick Douglas), feel to rather more 'moderate' and – say – sophisticated by any main impression from. In any case, one would, not necessary though, wish read those to any comparison w. Walker's apocryphical text. (Some where he also anticipated the future doom from be awaiting the nation living in such apparent hypocracy and contradictions to it's Christian morality, -beliefs. – Seems it presented, fx, that some 'judgement day' of the slaveholders sins would to Walker's 'vision' from appeared unavoidable, in time. So it sometimes leads for the 'prophesying' from the nations later 'dividing' on the issue at question; 'hailstone, fire and coals' then from raining over the nation in form of an internal war between states.)

...But his pamphlet, of it's any greatest importance postward, maybe, would've been on that it makes for quite impossible frmo read the abolitionist history as some sudden (or, gradual) 'awakening' amongst whites (Solely). Or think for some 'early', lighting 'spark' to the movement from had emerged strictly from amongst themselves. (At least that the reason, I imagine, Walker's text must've remained to the relative little latter renown, acknowledged past latter century.) Of course, one doesn't have to suspect that movement itself would've had emerged. (...And, must admit, I've not read books for particular that part history.) ; Lot many abolitionist whites by the time, seem said of horrified the text's uncompromising emphasizes, the bare aggressive tone from the Walker's statement. ; However, seems it too said the Garrison (William Lloyd), of despite his some early reservations, of been inspired by the Appeal, and from publishing that (...or, 'extracts of') to the earliest numbers from his The Liberator. But Walker's hate towards the oppressing race is of so vengeafully expressed, seems that many others for readers to text would've likely avoided of to get it's 'message'. (; The followed later reception from the pamphlet itself seems to be a different 'case-in-point', which needs not here referred. Except from, Kennedy (2011) concluding from, fx, that; 'Nothing like Walker's antislavery vehemence had ever before circulated among American readers, many were outraged, some were frightened, others felt chastened and radicalized.' (; p. 268) Also briefly discusses the aspect further on context of the time always emerged southerner's fears about the slave revolts for had emerged, 'resultant' (; on p. 269-272.) On these days, I guess it's also noted from plenty number that'd indeed were seen – Even if the older american histories might've been scarce to have so much of any mentions for those.)

From Walker's persona...Guess'll have to then only assume he'd probably heard enough lot of his contemporary Christian preacher-men to promising their listening parishes that the God's wrath wouldn't save their poor souls, unless them repented well time, come what it may - 'hell or high waters'. Walker's level of learning and 'origins' seem been source of some astonishment, but perhaps there's more from the backgrounds at more recent studies. (But we can then leave those aspects aside this mention.) ; Considering the 'Appeal', it's at least interesting also notice that Walker seems of avoided to arouse at his readers sentiments for any direct violent rebellion – Not to 'rise against', most all is still in some unity w. the christian ideas about the mercy and 'empathy' – But seems it also tell to it's foremost impression, that he'd been unlikely from had believed that liberation could've been achieved from via any peaceful changes. Or 'reform'. After all, it's the uncompromising and that audacious 'tone' by his, that still to present days, the reader for can't avoid from be from...rather enchanted about.

His words are also perfectly in uniformity w. the sort typical 1800ian speeches and common (Christian) morals from preaching the gospels and some patriotic 'duty', at the same sentences. (After all, you hear some from that even still these days...) Only that Walker's 'message' succeeds to be presented from lot more 'evidentual' argumented. ; No wonder then...

; Guess we needn't make more from noted, to this shorter mention. ; Or shall we then just say, close these few first-hand impressions to: Nothing new under the Sun...

-----------------

And the climates? A few words more on that, still, yet? Guess not, I kind of have the feelin' we've formerly said to the most part what we in general can and will from observe. – And these seasons the most what discussed would've concerned these Summery perennials, ...plus 'other' plants. 
(...I can't much also avoid of recognize it only from too obvious that much what's done today, appear arrived from a few decades very much late in time. The bigger the economy, the more stuck it seems to be on it's 'biased pasts', too. But all from that, nowadays, from very irrelevant.) ...Of my these plant 'hobbies' I might find that many my cultivations wouldn't been nearly so successfull some decades back, even. ; So part of these aspect also aforesaid idea(s) of mine about those few created patches and afforestations w. the Lime. Could spend the rest of my days to far worse tasks, too.

; And despite that on above it well often was mentioned from recent Summers exceptional heats and dry-spell...I find on these (here) regions nothing yet showing from any very severe abnormality of the weather, as yet. But it's not quite unlike, undeserved of a 'prophecy' to estimate that obviously, only more from will follow... Obviously I make no prophecies – You are only lookin' back, and, then, lookin' forward. You are only able to build on what you might happen of to know. ; But, where then actually is that 'in the midst.' ? And think we're from 'beyond', or, think that we're now only...nearing to? Not on a 'withdrawal', that's from one thing sure. ; G.U.J.

(...At the pic, Max Planck, 1858-1947, German/by Danish birth early last century physicist, whose 'great discovery' - some that brought him nobel prize in 1918, was about a question, which - acc. that Ball (2013) - 'seems simultaneously exceedingly esoteric and mundame: how radiation is emitted from warm bodies. What it lead to was quantum theory.' (in Physics,that meaning...). ; ...Quite interestingly, Ball's footnote on that page also mentions if sometimes said (that) actually '...Planck made two great discoveries - the second being Einstein.' ; Photo of via that Ball, too.
