A Writer's Club Reunion In Green Bay, Wisconsin, Where They Grow Apples And Grapes Developed By The University
A writer's club reunion in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where they grow apples and grapes developed by the University of Minnesota and fit their young with cheeseheads as soon as the fontanelle fuses. Nearby, in Belgian-settled Champion, there is a chapel marking the only church-approved Marian apparition in the United States. "Apparition soil" is sold across the street for $10 a jar and bone fragments from the 12 apostles are on display in the basement.

“He’s caught at the leading edge of something that reminds him of a time-lapsed star path, only it’s a part of him, as much an extension of his being as his arm or his mind, falling away and spiraling in on itself into a glowing, fractal-like form more beautiful and mysterious than anything in his experience. And he knows, on a level he cannot begin to explain, that this is his original world-line.”

The morning glories snuck up this week with startlingly beautiful, short-lived blooms 3 inches in diameter just as their vines were starting to look dried up and ratty. Photos can't do justice to the contrast of their sunburst centers against that translucent blue.
They say morning glories thrive on neglect. I think this means next year I'll put the seedlings in containers large enough to get them through midsummer and then try to forget about them.
The moonflower vines shriveled away at some point for reasons I have not yet troubleshooted.
