Hey you dandelions, don't try to be daisies...

I have been knee deep in composted manure lately and loving it.  Here are some pics to accompany a soundtrack to grow greenery by:

-Stevie Wonder: The Secret Life of Plants
-Various Artists: Musiques Pour les Plantes Vertes
-Plants: Photosynthesis
-Growing: Lateral ep
-Carol Batton: "Bee-ing"
-Molly Roth: Plant Talk/Sound Advice

And one shockingly trippy book to read before you fall asleep very, very achey and exhausted:  Annie Dillard, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.  Written in  the early 70's, Dillard gives us a year's worth of almost gothic take on the microcosm of natural life around a creek.  Apparently the world was a very different place back then, because this meditative space-out won a Pulitzer Prize...

you forgot "Green Thumb," by Mrs. Miller!

That 2nd shot is quite the enigma. I'm always amazed at certain weeds along roadsides and edges of lawns -- if you leave them alone sometimes they have really beautiful flowers. I leave a patch of clover (my lawn really isn't 'grass' in the traditional sense) for the rabbits to munch. To me the animals are a big part of the landscape, too.
