COUNTING SEEDS
I think I might have developed a new obsession.
It started in a small way, counting the number of seed pods on an onion seed head & carefully mounting them in my workbook.
Then I started "deconstructing" an artichoke seed head, numbering & mounting every stamen & carefully putting away the seeds to follow suit with them when time allows.
Last week, I noticed the dandelion growing outside my front door & wondered how many seeds were on each "clock". And how many "clocks" might it produce over the summer?
I'm horrified to report that during my counting activities this week, I've discovered that it has already produced 45 "clocks" so far since it sprang up a week or two ago! Today, I'm going to start mounting and numbering the seeds. Maybe then I'll draw them.
Note to Roz: why are they called clocks? And did you used to call them fairies when you saw them blowing in the wind?
