Confluency Theories

You’re right. Is there a surgeon in the family? Now here’s shabby. But at least knives and the resulting real blood isn’t involved.

Sikeston is located in northern New Madrid Co. and southern Scott Co. which voted for Clinton with 29% and 20% of their votes respectively. Probably higher in the city proper. Always good to remember there are a lot of blue voters in red areas.

Figured you did. My comment was meant more for stlrainbow since he’s from Indy, lives in StL and may not be familiar with Normandy. While I’ve got folks’ attention I’d like to point out something else not widely known:

You tweaked my curiosity. Kinda in the middle for rural counties but, with the sign, it seems like a real profile in courage.

I wanna Czech this one out. :-)

A casualty of the War on Mail? (West County)

Mine have only ever had one bloom season. A third in 2020 kinda gives me the chills.

The monarchs at Wayside Community Garden in Normandy are happy thanks to the marsh milkweeds given by the Mo. Prairie Foundation.

Maybe it just means you’re prime vice-presidential material. :-)

Too bad the headline used the condescending term “outstate” instead of “rural.” While there’s no excuse for the bigots they don’t represent many rural Missourians, i.e. :

The Clark and York Prairie garden is located in Wayside Community Garden. “Wayside,” built in 1892, is a StL Co. Landmark, given to the Normandy School Dist. in ‘65. Hopefully it will soon be restored.

Wm. Clark was born Aug. 1, 1770. His country estate, Marais Castor, enchanted Washington Irving, who wrote about it in Western Journals. It can be reimagined next door in Normandy where Anne Lucas Hunt’s bequests preserved the land. (ALH was godmother of 3 of Clark’s children.)

St. Peter’s on Lucas & Hunt just north of the Rock Rd. is from the same period and offers the best views of the St. Vincent building, completed in 1895 by the firm which designed StL City Hall.

Saw this in Spy magazine back in the day. WWJaredDo?

The Missouri Wildflowers Nursery (mowildflowers.net) catalog says that if you can plant only one type of liatris (gayfeather, Blazing Star) choose Liatris scariosa (Eastern Blazing Star). These monarchs and the Eastern Swallowtail prove the point.
