Marilyn consulting with her Herald. Elizabeth de Rossignol advises Marilyn that her first name is not Medieval, but that her last name, Monroe, could be English or anglicized Irish from the 12-14 century. It would be spelled “Munrow”. Her first name could be Mariel, a name derived from Mary. So Marilyn’s SCAdian name will be Mariel Munrow.

Sometimes the blooms close by later afternoon. Sometimes, like this morning, they are barely open when I leave for work.
The blue is surely the best flower blue except, perhaps, delphiniums. And there is a lot more of the velvety intensity of heavenly blue in a Morning Glory. I always loved them. I am a morning person.
Gardening wild means the plants are happy but the gardener can’t reach them easily. The intruding gardener steps carefully thru leafy tangles to reach the fruits of her labor. The plants are not lonely in a wild garden.
