YouTube video by Chris' Lyrics Give Me Love Give Me Peace On Earth - George Harrison - with lyrics

Give me love, give me love
Give me peace on Earth
Give me light, give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope, help me cope with this heavy load
Trying to touch and reach you with heart and soul
Oh, my Lord
Please, take hold of my hand
That I might understand you

One of George Harrison’s best songs. He is probably my favorite of the Fab Four as well. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is another beauty.

What fine and gorgeous antennae! Wowsers

A moth on my finger. Only the head and a bit of the wings and thorax are visible. The antennae are bright yellow and have a double comb-like structure like tiny fern leaves. The face is dark brown as are the legs. The thorax is reddish brown.

Moth antennae are a true wonder. Males, with their enormous comb-Thales antennae, can sense pheromones secreted by females from 4.5 miles away in some species. This particular guy is in the genus Dirphia. 🌱

Susan and Scott working with me in the sunbeds. The blackberries have been weeded out, plant parents are being refreshed, and we are considering installing a gentle swale and berm water harvesting system to slow and collect water coming down the slope.

How does all that happen on one continent?

Yeah, the Australian plants are totally nuts

I love how, when I come to bed he says: “Rrrrrr” and I boop him and he says “Rrrrr-rrrrr” again.

Yah, it is. It lifts the spirit to be out in sharp spring breezes listening to the birds calling about the coming of spring. They sound excited.

Chemical fertilizers cannot do what compost, dead wood and mulch do.

Love you all, garden good!
