19 March: Smoothing Edges

Smoothing the Edges

The daffodils are in full bloom,
the tulips just appeared,

and there’s a robin on the fence,
its beak filled with twigs.

Spring smooths our edges,
and joy is in the air. It sings.

  1. My daffodils killed all the tulips. How’d that happen?

    1. I’ve no idea, B. Be sure to snap off the flower head when it’s done blooming so the bulb can regenerate. That’s how to make them bloom the following year.

      1. After I planted them, I learned that they should never be planted in the same bed. We brought the tulips back from H?olland, too. Black. Unusual.

        1. Not so, Pete. I have daffodils and tulips planted in the same big pots, and they’ve bloomed every year for almost 10-years. I give them a handful of bonemeal in the autumn – nothing more. However you shouldn’t put cut daffodils and tulips together in the vase. Perhaps that’s what you’re thinking? Here’s a video for you.

          1. I never cut garden flowers. I cut back a load of lacender few years back, pre-stroke. That was good, but it grows wild now.

  3. Yes. Simple and wistful and in my part of the world – wishful.

    Our bulbs have all been freeze dried by the latest cold.

    This is a very pretty image!

    1. Thanks, C. I made the image using A.I. technology.

      1. Yes! I thought so. Does the AI work with photographs?

        1. It can do, although I don’t use photos. I create images by thinking of what I want it to look like, and then using text to describe it. A.I. then interprets that text into an image. That way I can tailor an image to suit the poem!

            1. I’m going to use a few of your recent photos, and run them through the Midjourney bot. I’ll set a few parameters for artistic reference, size, and chaos quotients, and then I’ll post them here. I use the Midjourney bot on Discord’s server. It’s in open beta right now, so anyone can sign up to join the Beta, but after a few initial free images it’s by subscription.

            2. That sounds like fun!

              Sad it is not free though. I try very hard to avoid subscriptions – maybe when the blog starts making some money. Though I am not entirely sure how I do that either!

            3. For me, it’s become a hobby, and the enjoyment I derive from it is well worth the US$10 per month. 😄
