Sunflower generosity: plenty seeds! Enough to plant more, sprout micro greens, and share with the birds who visit the garden (they’re already helping themselves). (at In the garden)

Somehow, you always end up reading.
This is so true. I cannot imagine not reading; can you?
As inconceivable as it is for me, I do have managers tell me, “I’m sorry Rosa, I just don’t read.” mostly because they’re referring to books, blogs, and any longer reads. I need to get a stack of these printed up index card size and simply respond by handing them one (and then taking away the iPad they web-surf with).
Management Style by Habit
This post was written as a follow-up to my recent articles on habit-building (they are listed from newest to oldest on this page.) Theory is all well and good, now let’s make it real for you.
What should you do with your life? Find out!
Graduation, commencement speeches, and all the hand-wringing that goes with, is reminding me of this posting in our Managing with Aloha archives. Snippet:
To anyone who thinks this question is a one-time deal, usually leading up to college graduation, you’re wrong. Life doesn’t happen that way. School and other conventions are man-made contrivances. Life is a rule-breaker. You work on something, you think you’ve arrived — maybe even aced it — and then you try to fall asleep one night and you can’t, because the question decided it was time to show up again.

… As for that drama queen, she does look a little different this morning compared to yesterday, fully opened, and triumphantly circling her pollen for the bees (at In the garden)
Surprise in the garden; got my 1st starfish flower bud! It quietly emerged while the drama queen sunflower soaked in my attentions. These flowers are large; this bud is about 4”tall w/tips looking very much like soft serve ice cream. I’ve learned this plant is a cactus imposter, and actually belongs to the milkweed family #Asclepidaceae #StapeliaGigantea Carrion Flower is another nickname for it, because the flowers are pollinated by flies - they’re pretty stinky smelling to attract them. I’ve had a patch of these for several years which flowers in red, but this will be my 1st bloom in this lighter color. (at In the garden)
If you want to learn more about it, the best info page I’ve found on this plant was written by Bruce Brethauer for the Columbus Cactus Club.

We’ve had drought conditions for so long that the rain makes us crazy happy. (at Queen K Highway)
