Work for Body and Soul

Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul is the work of the soul, and good for either is the work of the other.

– Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

P.S. Playing with DD serves both purposes.

The Agave Tree Blooms: Just Once in Your Lifetime

The agave tree at the Matthei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Michigan is blooming at present. It is said that the agave tree blooms only once every 90-100 years, so this is undoubtedly quite the event to be seen. Also, it apparently dies after it blooms.

We did just that a couple weeks ago, and it was remarkable to see how rapidly the tree is growing – apparently 6 inches a day – which is why they have had to open up the glass-tiled roof in order to let it grow!

Some pictures from our trip there that includes other lovely flora and cacti.
