Life in a Nutshell: My barber's leaving town
I'm going to break one of my column writing rules today. There aren't many. Mainly it's things like try to come within at least one or two letters of spelling a word correctly or know what day your column is due so you have plenty of time to come up with an excuse for why it's not ready. This week it was, "I sprained the three fingers I type with."

Structurally Speaking
The artful vision is where we discover the chords that make a town sing with its own originality. The drama of the set as it allows for the unfolding of the social experience is projected within the artful master plan, without which the very real threat of the arbitrary (or the generic) is an inevitable result." -- Robert Balch

Wildlife Discoveries: Nectar plants, spider webs attract Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
The wind and rain of the much-needed storms at the edge of Alberto had beaten down my deep red pentas and I trimmed them back about eight inches, knowing they'd set up new blooms. Meanwhile, the purple porterweed planted in front of the pentas took over as the tallest blooms in the garden. The spikes the porterweed sends up at the end of each stem are about two feet long, bright green and sprout circles of deep purple flowers that start at the base of each curving spike and open in stages upward until they reach the end of the spike. Then I know to snap off the spent spike and in a couple of weeks there will be a new spike with new blooms. Porterweed is a favorite of mine and of bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
