An overgrown dappled willow in July of 2012,
the middle of a 5 month drought with temperature near 100 degrees (F) each day. |
I am hoping for a gardening day today. Siri tells me partly sunny and 55 degrees (F), but Siri is often wrong about things like where Waseca, MN is (She is really bad with names! But somehow she knew immediately that Robert Redford was 77 and didn't even attempt to hand me off to some biopic website. She must be a fan.); or panders to me with innocuous responses like, "That's an interesting question." Sometimes she responds with esoterica only someone my age would know, a reference to HAL or when asked for news throws something out about Apple. She is very much Jobs' daughter. You have to wonder at the involvement of Steve with the code for Siri's personality.
However, hoping for a gardening day, I have several tasks facing me.
My dappled willow, Hakuro Nishiki, has the starts of tiny leaves.
