A gray day needs a splash of color, and that's just what we found at The Elegant Farmer. These Pansies (Viola tricolor hortensis) are ready for the garden, but is the garden ready for the pansies. With snow in the forecast for the weekend, these little bundles of technicolor joy will just have to stay in the hothouse a little while longer. Is it just me, or do they look like they have little faces?
Or is it the face of a terrified American looking at their 401k balance? Today, the Fed's lowering of a key lending rate by 3/4 of a point brought a little color back to the faces of investors, as the stock market rebounded with a 3.5 - 4% gain on the major indecies. I'm sure the Bush Admistration is hoping that Ben Bernanke and friends can keep the US economy propped up until W is out of office, leaving yet another mess for the next President. It's a long road to that time, and we're almost out of interest basis points to cut.
