The Big Red Seed

On October 28, 2021 By Mary Porter KernsIn Garden & Forest & EarthLeave a comment

The audacity of the red seeds stopped me, and I couldn’t take another step.   How could a seed be THAT red?  Solid, bright fire engine red.  Pure unadulterated red if there is such a thing.  Few plants have both an incredible flower and an overwhelmingly amazing seed pod and seeds.   But our magnolia does.  These …

The Forest In Between

On October 3, 2021 By Mary Porter KernsIn Garden & Forest & EarthLeave a comment

On a recent visit to my favorite forest and stream, just past the autumn equinox, the feeling was one of satisfaction, of waiting, of being balanced.  An in-between time, quiet.  Even the sun felt still.  No leaves were falling, they were just waiting, happy to be basking in the early autumn sunlight.  The air, no …

The Mighty Pregnant Mustard

On June 9, 2021June 9, 2021 By Mary Porter KernsIn New Art1 Comment

I like my garden best when it gets rather wild, with the plants spilling over each other, finding their own space, going to seed, rabbits burrowing under the comfrey, the berry brambles so thick you can’t see through them, the cucumbers and sunflowers and beans all intertwined, tomatoes spilling over the ground because the suckers …

Bleeding Hearts

On May 20, 2021May 21, 2021 By Mary Porter KernsIn New Art2 Comments

The term “bleeding heart” has become quite a derogatory term in our culture and refers to one who feels “too much”.    Dictionary.com says it means “a person who makes an ostentatious or excessive display of pity or concern for others”, and it has even become a political term.  Most people want to be known to …
