Cichorium intybus (Asteraceae)
More than any other flower, Chicory epitomizes the height of summer for me. In the days when I had a long commute, I loved to see the slender blue blossoms on the side of the highway in July. There would be a few joyous days, maybe a week or two, and then road crews would appear and cut back what the Massachusetts Department of Transportation clearly viewed as a nuisance.
I woke up this morning and figured out how to stream audio to the Windows Media Player. So now you can listen to Dave’s music without waiting for the whole download.
I haven’t figured out how to stream to Quicktime or RealPlayer yet, but I’ll work on that. It’s raining heavily outside so I might just get around to it today. Either that or knit socks. It’s a toss up.
We made a trip down to Philadelphia and to Wilmington, Delaware this week. Wilmington, Delaware — a great place. Who knew?
First, it’s accessible. It was easy to find our way around in and folks were very nice. Second, we went to the 4W5 Cafe at 4 West 5th Street for the Tuesday Bluegrass jam session led by David Bromberg.
Kudos to Dave’s sister, Cherie, for this find. We had a great time.
