Vines - Part 3 - Clematis
Vines are amazing plants. With their ability to either climb vertically or spread horizontally, they enable us to create many-layered interest in our gardens. If you've avoided using vines because you think they can get out of hand and become weedy pests, think again. While this is true of some, it's also true of many garden-worthy plants that none of us would be without. With some exceptions, weediness is not a characteristic of Clematis, the Queen of the twining vines.

HCA: The Tin Soldier
Several of Hans Christian's Andersen's stories are autobiogaphical, including The Ugly duckling. others reflect his sense of isolation and rejection from society include The Fir Tree and teh Tin Soldier. What about his love affairs? Did he have any? Perhaps th Tin soldier gives insight on Andersen's feelings of sexual inadequacy and his hesitancy to pursue personal commitments. After all, did he marry? Keep a live-in? Maintain a lady? or is he only known for telling stories?

I-3 Lech Lecha: Go You
Lech Lecha opens "Go you" and is interpreted as go to yourself or go from yourself, but the imperative of journey is clear. Abraham is commanded to leave his land, birthplace and father's house to travel into the unknown. The history of the Jews is begun with the covenant established between Abraham and God with the promise that his descendents will be like the dust of the earth and as numerous as the stars in the heavens. And although we honor Abraham as the Father of Nations, he is dominated by Sarah's demands and jealousies. Sarah insists on Abraham having relations with Hagar since she is beyond child-bearing age. She understands the need for children to generate an inheritance; but when Hagar is pregnant and bears Ishmael, Sarah jealously drives her from the house. Hagar and her son are abandoned in the desert to die, but God intervenes, sparing her life and promising that her son Ishmael will also become a father of nations. The passage is read during the High Holidays, but frequently skipped over. Ishmael is cast in the villain's role while Sarah is extolled. Frequently in Biblical literature, pairs are put into opposing positions to contrast attributes to draw lessons: Jacob and Esau, Rachel and Leah. Not only Abraham leaves his land, birthplace and father's house; but also Hagar and not only Abraham experiences an encounter with God. Departures are difficult, particularly if to an unknown place. Leave the note for the milkman so the cats don't knock the bottles over on the stairs. Call the paperman, so the papers don't collect and mildew on the porch. Time runs out quickly for those packing, and for those caught in a midst of a storm--just grab a fwe things and evacuate.

With May almost over, we look at what is currently in flower and what highlights are to come. June is dominated by roses. I look at what the older roses have to offer for impatient gardeners.
