The Daily Bucket: My Grandson, the fledgling Robin.

IMG_1739.JPG

I am so happy to walk into the back yard and have fledgling birds whirring about, clumsily.  New life! I put extra food on the ground for the dummies.   Some birds I know. Some I don’t.  Colors are vague.  Here’s a couple I don’t know. One seems to interact with...

The Daily Bucket–Odyssey of the Ancient Lotuses

A year ago,  I attempted to  resurrect a handful of lotus seeds, that had sat, forgotten, on a high shelf, for almost 20 years.  I dutifully roughed up one corner of the seed with 30 grit sandpaper, to expose the tip that would germinate, like YouTube told me to. I...

The Daily Bucket–The $100 Lotus

Last Spring, I went to Washington DC to help AOC write the Green New Deal. /s/  I had a free afternoon so I went to the Kenilworth Lotus Gardens in the northeast corner of town. It was a misty and muddy February so I had the place to myself.  Vultures...

The Daily Bucket–The Snail Whisperer

IMG_3115.JPG

I recently set up a 5 gallon aquarium and germinated lotuses in it from storied seeds.  I purchased two Japanese “trapdoor” snails to eat the aquarium’s algae.  They just had a half-dozen live young, so I am sort of a grandfather of snails. This covey of snails swiftly ate all of...

The Daily Bucket–Spring Babes

Spring means renewal, and birth. It means baby birds chirping for food, baby ducks swimming in a row behind mom, lambies frolicking in a green field, and baby snails methodically mowing down algae. Baby snails! I bought two trapdoor snails a couple of weeks ago, to clean up the algae that...

The Daily Bucket–Will a small Buddha sit on the Lotus leaf?

IMG_3020.JPG

On the Winter Solstice eight weeks ago, I planted five 15-year-old lotus seeds.  They rapidly germinated and sprouted, filling a small aquarium.  Now they are producing lovely circular leaves.  In a couple of months I’ll move them outside. From eight days ago.  The uncurling leaf in this picture has since...

I am currently taking about 11 different drugs.  Two drugs are for fighting prostate cancer.  The other nine drugs are for treating the side effects of the cancer drugs, including high blood pressure.

A month ago I transplanted  five aged sprouting lotus seeds into a small aquarium filled with clay dirt.  The five sprouts have become a dozen or more, and strive to grow leaves. However an oily sheen appeared on the water’s surface.  I can’t just dump and change all the water...

The Daily Bucket–The Mystery of the Buddha Peace Lotuses

Thousands of years ago, magic was afoot.  Gods and goddess walked the earth in human form. Everywhere Buddha walked 2500 years ago, lotuses sprouted in his footsteps. Period art depicts Buddha’s birth taking place within a lotus flower. What if folks had gathered up the lotuses from the Buddha’s footsteps and...

About three weeks ago, Saint-nominee Attack Gardener sent me 5 lotus seeds that were almost 10 years old. I followed Yubtube instructions on scarring the seeds before placing them in water.  Remarkably, all the seeds sank in water, showing they were not dried out.  I talked to them in a...
