Our Murrieta skies are very clear, not a cloud in sight. The top photo shows the last hollyhock flower in my garden; the rest are slowly going to seed. Next years' crop in the making.
Clear skies in Texas, too (albeit with interminable heat), and I love the hollyhocks. When I first moved to Texas, people said I couldn't grow them here, but I did--and folks would stop in front of my house and run up to my door to ask for seeds. I haven't grown them in years, but now you've inspired me to try again this fall.

ReplyDeleteA fabulous blue sky. I haven't seen hollyhocks for many years. They are as pretty as I remember.

ReplyDeleteWHEN PLANETS PLUMMET
When planets plummet
And comets careen,
It’s the strangest sight
You ever have seen.
When drunk stars stagger
And comets collide,
It’s time to look up
As you go outside
To stare at the sky
Where the strangest sight
Is the moon-faced thing
That you see at night.
