What's happening in the garden? Most things have gone to seed but there are a few late bloomers and the bees are super busy. We have an absolute sea of red cardinal flowers blooming in every direction. The hummingbirds and bees love them (but be aware, they spread with wild abandon!) 🌱
Patch of gomphrena which are clover-like flowers, balls of tightly packed tiny petals that fade from a deep mauve around the outer and lower edges through pale pink to white in the center.Patch of swamp sunflowers, bright golden yellow daisy-shaped flowers clustered thickly together.A blooming okra flower. It has creamy white broad petals around a burgundy-purplish center. There is a sea of red cardinal flowers visible in the background.Pale mauve coneflower bloom with a spiky orange center. There are two gold and black bees in the center collecting pollen.

Love it! Manuscript means "hand written," which does not pop out to us English speakers, because it's from Latin. In Hebrew, it's כְּתַב יָד, k'tav yad, which means "handwriting," as in "her handwriting is clear," and only context distinguishes modern notebook from medieval parchment.

Word that’s making me smile today: ochibabune. It’s a Japanese term that means “fallen leaf boat.” In Japan, an autumn leaf drifting on water is a poignant metaphor for vulnerability and impermanence. 📷: William Warby, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons

A good question, and making me wonder why we Christians don't ask it this way. Can Christianity be saved after our complicity in the Holocaust? Our support of physical and cultural genocides, from North America to Gaza? Yes. We betray our ideals, we commit crimes. God help the church repent.

Not a novel observation on my part but the language ('agents' 'on their own', 'tried') here is a gift to the AI companies. 'Petroleum-flow agents, acting on their own, burst from BP's containment system and tried to gain access to a wide range of locations within the Gulf of Mexico,' kinda thing.
